PQC-capable server
- When you need it
- A client that can't speak PQC — an old library, curl, an IoT device, a microservice — reaching a PQC-capable origin. You want the connection quantum-safe even though the client can't ask. The harvest-now-decrypt-later defense for endpoints you can't upgrade.
- How it works
- TLS Lane injects the hybrid group (X25519MLKEM768) into the upstream-bound ClientHello, so the outbound leg negotiates post-quantum while the client leg stays classical.
- Good to know
- The server must support the hybrid group. This is the headline adapter.
- TLS version
- TLS 1.3 outbound
