Google Sets 2029 Deadline for Quantum-Safe Encryption
- On Wednesday, Google moved its Q-Day preparation deadline to 2029, warning that quantum computers could soon break current cryptographic standards securing sensitive global data.
- Research indicates 1 million noisy qubits could factor RSA integers in under a week, making the threat significantly more feasible than previous estimates requiring much higher qubit counts.
- The company urges organizations to transition to post-quantum cryptography to augment existing security, as RSA and elliptic curves will eventually become vulnerable to quantum threats.
- Heather Adkins, Google's VP of security engineering, and Sophie Schmieg, senior cryptography engineer, wrote that the company has a "responsibility to lead by example and share an ambitious timeline."
- While Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum computers remain error-prone, experts note that capabilities once thought decades away may arrive much sooner than previously anticipated.

Watch out Bitcoin devs. Google says post-quantum migration needs to happen by 2029.
The search giant set a corporate deadline to migrate all authentication services to quantum-resistant cryptography, validating the timeline Ethereum has been building toward for eight years. Bitcoin's response so far has been silence.
Google sets 2029 deadline for quantum-safe encryption, years ahead of government targets
The announcement came this week in a blog post detailing Google's migration plan to post-quantum cryptography, a new generation of algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.Read Entire Article
Cryptography must prepare for quantum computing, Google warns
Cryptography needs to be ready for quantum computing by 2029, Google warned. Modern encryption uses math equations that would take conventional computers trillions of years to crack. In theory, quantum computers could do that math instantly. “Q-day,” when the tech renders existing encryption useless, was — like fusion power — always 10 years away, but quantum computers have rapidly become less error-prone and more efficient in their use of compu…
