Google Says Q-Day Could Arrive by 2029 — Why the Race to Post‑Quantum Cryptography Just Got Real
Google has set a new, sharper deadline for what the industry calls “Q‑Day” — the moment when quantum computers will be powerful enough to break the public-key cryptography that underpins most of today’s secure communications. In a recent post, Google’s security and cryptography leads gave themselves until 2029 to be ready, and urged the rest of the world to accelerate adoption of post‑quantum cryptography (PQC). That deadline is notably sooner…
