Chrome 124 Introduces Quantum-Safe Encryption, Sparks Connection Woes
  • Google Chrome 124 introduces quantum-resistant encryption X25519Kyber768 to safeguard against future quantum attacks.

  • Users experience connectivity problems with servers and network devices due to increased ClientHello message size from new encryption.

  • Affected users can temporarily fix issues by disabling TLS 1.3 Kyber support in Chrome settings or through enterprise policies.

  • Server and network device vendors need to update their systems to support the new encryption mechanism.

  • Long-term, the industry must adopt post-quantum secure ciphers, and temporary disabling options in Chrome will eventually be phased out.
