AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) now support hybrid post-quantum key establishment for transport layer security (SSL/TLS) connections using the latest post-quantum ciphers from Round 3 of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) selection process. These TLS configurations allow you to measure the potential performance impact of PQC algorithms ahead of a formal standardization announcement. You can also benefit from the longer-term confidentiality afforded by hybrid post-quantum TLS.
