Cloudflare roadmap includes post-quantum authentication

The news at the time

Cloudflare announced a target of 2029 for full post-quantum security, explicitly including authentication. This is a roadmap target rather than a completed migration.

The announcement distinguishes post-quantum encryption from authentication and says the work is incomplete until authentication is upgraded.

Follow-up checked during renewal

No additional follow-up fact was established in this renewal. This does not establish that nothing changed.

What to review before applying this

Inventory key exchange, certificates and signing dependencies separately. Confirm the current product-specific roadmap before scheduling changes; the historical date is not a migration guarantee for every deployment.

Editorial review suggestions; no hands-on product experiment was performed.
