21 Post-quantum encryption could strain global internet traffic, warns GlobalSign The shift to post-quantum cryptography could pose major challenges for any organisation with a website. Only around 60 per cent of internet traffic is currently encrypted using the cryptographic protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), according to Arvid Vermote, chief information security officer at GlobalSign. Future quantumsafe encryption will rely on TLS 3, which is designed to support quantum-resistant encryption and key exchange. The catch with post-quantum certificates is their size. Today’s standard certificates range from 500 bytes to 2 kilobytes (KB), but post-quantum certificates start at 17KB. Multiplied across billions of daily web sessions, this could dramatically increase global internet traffic. Vermote warns that new algorithms must be approved and standardised to let websites adopt quantum-safe encryption without compromising speed or security.
