[Skip to content](#%5Ftop) # PQC in Cloudflare products Cloudflare is [targeting 2029 ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-roadmap/) to be fully post-quantum secure across its entire product suite. This page shows the status of the migration. Each section below groups Cloudflare products by the underlying secure communication channel. Once a channel supports PQC, every product built on top inherits PQC support. Each section captures the classes of post-quantum algorithms deployed in the secure communication channel: [key agreement](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/#hybrid-key-agreement) (sometimes called post-quantum encryption, which protects against [harvest-now, decrypt-later ↗](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest%5Fnow,%5Fdecrypt%5Flater) attacks) and [signatures](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/#post-quantum-signatures) (sometimes called post-quantum authentication, which protects live systems against unauthorized access by quantum adversaries [after Q-Day ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-roadmap/)). A Cloudflare-side ✅ entry only delivers end-to-end post-quantum protection when **the party on the other side of the connection also supports the same post-quantum algorithms**. Refer to [PQC support](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-support/) for the list of browsers, libraries, and servers that support the algorithms Cloudflare has deployed. For an end-to-end walkthrough of how Cloudflare One on-ramps and off-ramps fit together, refer to [PQC and Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/). ## Visitor to Cloudflare Inbound TLS 1.3 (including QUIC) from end-user clients to Cloudflare's edge. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Key agreement | ✅ X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | 📝 Planned via [Merkle Tree Certificates ↗](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-plants-merkle-tree-certs/) | Reference: [PQC for all websites and APIs ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-for-all/). **Products covered:** any proxied hostname or HTTPS application behind Cloudflare, including: * The Cloudflare developer platform: [Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) custom domains, `*.workers.dev`, [Pages](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/), [R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/) public buckets, [Stream](https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/), and [Images](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/). * [API Shield](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api-shield/)\-protected APIs. * The Cloudflare API and dashboard. * [Cloudflare Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/applications/http-apps/self-hosted-public-app/) self-hosted applications (browser-to-edge leg). This section only covers the inbound TLS connection from the end-user client to Cloudflare's edge. When a Worker fetches data from a backend storage service ([D1](https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/), [KV](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/), [Durable Objects](https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/), [R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/), [Workers AI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/), [Hyperdrive](https://developers.cloudflare.com/hyperdrive/), and similar), that connection is governed by the [Cloudflare internal network](#cloudflare-internal-network) section. When a Worker calls out to a third-party origin via `fetch()`, it is governed by the [Cloudflare to origin](#cloudflare-to-origin) section. The [Agentless via proxy endpoints](#agentless-via-proxy-endpoints) on-ramp to Cloudflare Gateway terminates inbound TLS in its own edge stack and is covered separately below. ## Cloudflare internal network Service-to-service TLS connections between Cloudflare data centers and internal services. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ----------------- | | Key agreement | 🚧 X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [PQC generally available ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-cryptography-ga/), [Roadmap ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-roadmap/). Most internal connections have been migrated to X25519MLKEM768\. A long tail of services is still in the process of being upgraded. ## Cloudflare to origin Outbound TLS 1.3 connections from Cloudflare's edge to customer origin servers. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ---------------- | | Key agreement | ✅ X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [PQC to your origin](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-to-origin/). **Products covered:** any Cloudflare-proxied zone's origin pull, and the egress leg of [Cloudflare Gateway](#cloudflare-gateway) (SWG, HTTPS inspection) when Gateway fetches third-party origin content on behalf of the client. Gateway's post-quantum support on this leg is independent of which on-ramp the client uses to reach Cloudflare. Note If your origin server does not yet support PQC, you can onboard it to Cloudflare's network with a PQC connection by putting it behind [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/). ## Cloudflare Tunnel Outbound TLS 1.3 tunnel from `cloudflared` on a customer origin to Cloudflare's global network. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ---------------- | | Key agreement | ✅ X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [PQ Cloudflare Tunnel ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-tunnel/), [PQC and Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/). **Products covered:** [Workers VPC](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-vpc/) private-network access and any [Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/) off-ramp that egresses via `cloudflared` (for example, [Cloudflare Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/access-controls/applications/http-apps/self-hosted-public-app/) self-hosted applications). ## Cloudflare One The sections below cover the connections and services that make up [Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/). For an end-to-end walkthrough of how on-ramps and off-ramps fit together, refer to [PQC and Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/). ### Cloudflare One Client MASQUE tunnel (TLS 1.3) from an end-user device to Cloudflare's global network, established by the [Cloudflare One Client](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/team-and-resources/devices/cloudflare-one-client/) (formerly WARP). | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ---------------- | | Key agreement | ✅ X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [PQC and Cloudflare One: Cloudflare One Client](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/#cloudflare-one-client). This connection also serves as a post-quantum on-ramp for traffic that traverses [Cloudflare Gateway](#cloudflare-gateway). ### Cloudflare Mesh [Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-mesh/) provides private IP connectivity between devices and servers using the Cloudflare One Client on each Mesh node and client device. Mesh inherits its post-quantum protection from the [Cloudflare One Client](#cloudflare-one-client) connection, which is used as both the on-ramp and the off-ramp for Mesh traffic. ### Cloudflare Gateway [Cloudflare Gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/traffic-policies/http-policies/tls-decryption/#post-quantum-support) is a Secure Web Gateway that runs on Cloudflare's edge and filters HTTPS traffic egressing to the public Internet. Gateway has no client-side component; clients reach Gateway via one of several post-quantum on-ramps: * The [Cloudflare One Client](#cloudflare-one-client). * A [Cloudflare IPsec](#cloudflare-ipsec) tunnel. * The [Agentless via proxy endpoints](#agentless-via-proxy-endpoints) on-ramp. The egress leg from Gateway to third-party origin servers is covered by [Cloudflare to origin](#cloudflare-to-origin) and is independent of the on-ramp. Reference: [PQC and Cloudflare One: Secure Web Gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/#secure-web-gateway). ### Agentless via proxy endpoints Cloudflare Gateway [proxy endpoints](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/resolvers-and-proxies/proxy-endpoints/) let browsers route their egress HTTPS traffic through Cloudflare Gateway for inspection and filtering, without an agent installed on the device. Browsers are configured via a Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file or system proxy settings to forward traffic to a Cloudflare-hosted proxy endpoint, which terminates TLS at Cloudflare's edge. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ---------------- | | Key agreement | ✅ X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [Proxy endpoints](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/resolvers-and-proxies/proxy-endpoints/), [PQC and Cloudflare One: Secure Web Gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/#secure-web-gateway). ### Cloudflare IPsec IKEv2 key exchange for IPsec tunnels between third-party branch connectors and Cloudflare's global network. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Key agreement | ✅ ML-KEM-768/1024 + DH Group 20 (P-384) in IKEv2 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [PQC SASE ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-sase/), [GRE and IPsec tunnels](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/reference/gre-ipsec-tunnels/#tested-third-party-vendor-interoperability), [draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem ↗](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem/). The IPsec ESP dataplane can alternatively be keyed using the [Cloudflare One Appliance](#cloudflare-one-appliance) control plane instead of IKEv2. ### Cloudflare One Appliance TLS 1.3 control-plane connection used by the [Cloudflare One Appliance](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/reference/) (formerly Magic WAN Connector) to establish keys for its IPsec ESP dataplane tunnels. | Protection | Status | | ------------- | ---------------- | | Key agreement | ✅ X25519MLKEM768 | | Signatures | Not yet | Reference: [PQC SASE ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-sase/), [Cloudflare One Appliance](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/reference/), [PQC and Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/pqc-and-zero-trust/#cloudflare-ipsec). ## Contributing This listing is maintained alongside the rest of the Cloudflare SSL/TLS documentation.
