Post-quantum website certificates from Cloudflare are scheduled for early 2027

Cloudflare plans to launch a public certificate authority (CA) that will issue both conventional and post-quantum digital certificates. The company will roll out production issuance of Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), a post-quantum certificate type, in the first quarter of 2027. Cloudflare cites concentration risk in the current CA ecosystem as motivation to diversify certificate issuers.

Why it matters: Website operators and security teams should monitor this development as an alternative CA option for post-quantum-ready transport layer security, with production availability expected in Q1 2027.
