Chrome Announces Quantum-Safe Certificate Program Using Merkle Tree Certificates

Chrome is launching a quantum-safe certificate program that replaces traditional X.509 certificates with Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) to address performance issues from post-quantum cryptography. The rollout begins with a Cloudflare feasibility study in 2026, followed by CT log operator participation in Q1 2027 and a dedicated Chrome Quantum-resistant Root Store in Q3 2027.
