The adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is in full swing, and many cryptographic toolkits and libraries now support both pure and hybrid PQC algorithms like X25519MLKEM768. But what does it look like to integrate PQC into a global CDN infrastructure to protect a significant chunk of all internet traffic? In this talk, I will discuss the lessons from leading the PQC adoption program at Akamai and deploying quantum security at internet scale, including key exchange algorithm selection, the impact of the increased key sizes on performance and time-to-first-byte, as well as what lies beyond just the TLS key exchange bits most of us are currently focused on.
