Google Adds Quantum-Resistant Encryption in Chrome 116 to Enhance TLS Security

Chrome will support X25519 Kyber768 for establishing symmetric secrets in TLS, starting with version 116 of its browser.

The encryption algorithm has already been adopted by Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services, and IBM.Google has announced plans to add support for quantum-resistant encryption algorithms in its Chrome browser.

Bad actors could possibly take advantage of the visibility into these fixes and develop exploits to apply against browser users who haven’t yet received the fix, Amy Ressler from the Chrome Security Team said.

That’s why we believe it’s really important to ship security fixes as soon as possible, to minimize this ‘patch gap,’ she wrote in a post explaining the company’s motivation for adding support for such an attack-preventing technique
