arXiv study assesses post-quantum cryptography adoption in TLS
Original title: Empirical Assessment of Post-Quantum Cryptography Adoption Status in TLS
PQC support reaches only 9.1% for HTTPS and below 1% for other protocols at server level.
Researchers performed an empirical assessment of PQC deployment across seven protocols using 10,000 target IP addresses per protocol. PQC support is 9.1% for HTTPS and 7.39% for LDAPS at the origin-server level, falling below 1% for all others. At the entity level, support is 11% for HTTPS and 5.4% for LDAPS, with correlations to digital and financial footprints and industry sectors.
- PQC support below 5% for most protocols at entity level
- Analysis covers HTTPS, LDAPS, SMTPS, IMAP-SSL, POP3-SSL, TELNETS, and RDP
- Comparative analysis of Cloudflare-hosted domains against baseline datasets
- Correlates adoption trends against organizational footprints

1 min read at arxiv.orgAnticipating Q-day security concerns, major CDNs and cloud providers are migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). While existing literature benchmarks PQC performance, empirical research evaluating real-world adoption data remains scarce.
