SourceAnnouncing quantum-safe key import in Cloud KMS
It protects against "store now, decrypt later" attacks, where adversaries save encrypted data today to decrypt it once viable quantum computers exist. This allows organizations to secure sensitive cloud workloads before these threats emerge.
- Preview of quantum-safe key import in Cloud KMS for software-based cryptographic keys.
- Uses hybrid public key encryption (HPKE) supporting X-Wing, ML-KEM-768, and ML-KEM-1024 KEM layers.
- General availability of Cloud KMS PQC insights to monitor asymmetric key algorithms and post-quantum security posture.
- Mitigates Store Now, Decrypt Later (SNDL) attacks for BYOK multicloud architectures.
