With Oratomic estimating only 10,000 qubits are needed to break P-256, the timeline for cryptographic collapse has drastically shortened. Cloudflare's acceleration of its post-quantum roadmap to 2029 confirms that Q-Day readiness is no longer theoretical but an immediate operational imperative. Cloudflare's pq 2025 The era of relying solely on encryption channels to thwart harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks is effectively over; the new battlefield is authentication.
