Quackbase PQC Check

Can a quantum computer read your website's traffic?

Enter a domain. We connect the way a browser does and tell you whether its encryption holds up against a future quantum computer. Free, no sign-up.

Only the public HTTPS connection is tested. No attacks, no vulnerability scanning.

Why this matters before quantum computers exist

Attackers don't have to wait. They can record encrypted traffic today and decrypt it once a capable quantum computer exists. Anything that must stay secret for years, such as health records, contracts or trade secrets, is already exposed.

  1. 2024

    NIST publishes the first post-quantum standards: ML-KEM (FIPS 203) for key exchange and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) for digital signatures.

  2. Today

    Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari offer X25519MLKEM768 by default. The server is the missing half.

  3. 2030

    NIST's draft transition plan (IR 8547) proposes deprecating RSA and elliptic-curve algorithms for most uses.

  4. 2035

    The same draft proposes disallowing them entirely.

How the score works

100 points across five checks. Key exchange carries 60 of them, because it is the only part that can be recorded now and broken later. A site without post-quantum key exchange can score at most 40.

60Post-quantum key exchange
Whether the server chooses X25519MLKEM768 or another hybrid group when a browser connects. Supporting it without choosing it earns 20.
10TLS 1.3
Post-quantum key exchange only exists in TLS 1.3. Without it, nothing else can move.
10Legacy protocols
TLS 1.0 and 1.1 should be off. Old protocols keep weak algorithms around.
10Certificate signature
RSA of 2048 bits or more, or ECDSA, still earns full marks, because ML-DSA certificates aren't in general use yet.
10Certificate trust
The certificate must be valid, unexpired and issued by a trusted authority.
