Actually, do you see this feature being shipped with 116 and enabled by default? I just updated and didn't see it as expected. My Chrome 116 seemed to be using the same ClientHello message(s) from previous versions.
Google has announced plans to add support for quantum-resistant encryption algorithms in its Chrome browser, starting with version 116.
"Chrome will begin supporting X25519Kyber768 for establishing symmetric secrets in TLS, starting in Chrome 116, and available behind a flag in Chrome 115," Devon O'Brien said in a post published Thursday.
Kyber was chosen by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the candidate for general encryption in a bid to tackle future cyber attacks posed by the advent of quantum computing. Kyber-768 is roughly the security equivalent of AES-192.
The encryption algorithm has already been adopted by Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services, and IBM.
X25519Kyber768 is a hybrid algorithm that combines the output of X25519, an elliptic curve algorithm widely used for key agreement in TLS, and Kyber-768 to create a strong session key to encrypt TLS connections.
