Let’s Encrypt has announced its roadmap for post-quantum Web PKI, centering on a novel approach called Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), a design that delivers quantum-resistant authentication without bloating TLS handshakes or breaking the web’s performance expectations. Traditional X.509 certificate chains require significant bandwidth, which would increase substantially with the adoption of robust post-quantum algorithms. MTCs […]
