| ## Overview | ||
| To protect against the "Store Now, Decrypt Later" attack, Google Cloud is implementing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) across its services. | ||
|
|
||
| **Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)** refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to protect encrypted communications against attacks from future quantum computers. The primary threat addressed today is **Store-Now, Decrypt-Later (SNDL)**—where encrypted network traffic is intercepted and stored today by an adversary with the goal of decrypting it once cryptographically relevant quantum computers emerge. | ||
| For more information on Google Cloud's approach, see [Post-Quantum Cryptography on Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/security/resources/post-quantum-cryptography?hl=en) and [Additional Resources](#7-additional-resources). | ||
|
|
||
| To defend against this without sacrificing stability, Google Cloud Java client libraries adopt **Hybrid Key Exchange** (combining classical algorithms like `X25519` with standardized post-quantum algorithms like `ML-KEM-768`). This ensures connections remain secure even if an unforeseen mathematical weakness is discovered in either algorithm. | ||

For consistency with the rest of the document (such as line 3), "Post-Quantum" should be capitalized with a capital "Q".
