Smallstep has updated its open-source and commercial products to support post-quantum TLS 1.3 Hybrid Key Exchange, combining classical elliptic curve cryptography algorithm X25519 with post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism ML-KEM-768. These efforts are in response to US Congress legislation mandating quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms to secure data from future quantum computing threats. The post outlines the importance of quantum computing, how it can break current encryption mechanisms, and why hybrid TLS handshakes are crucial for transitioning to quantum-safe encryption.
