TLS: Are we PQ yet?

Abstract

The TLS protocol (famous for https://) is perhaps the most-used cryptographic protocol. As such, it is extremely important that it gets migrated to post-quantum cryptography. Fortunately, the TLS working group, browsers like Chrome and Firefox, and service providers like Cloudflare are making headway to solve the problem. Chrome on desktop computer already prefers Kyber768+X25519 key exchange by default! So, just migrate the certificates, and we’re done, right?
