Enable support for initial NIST PQC (Post-quantum) algorithms across the XC platform for TLS.
Competitive providers are already implementing PQC algorithms as part of their platforms. Enterprises and governments are already planning for transition and in some cases, have already implemented elements of PQC algorithms, even ahead of standardization. Lack of roadmap or progress on PQC presents a practical and reputational risk for F5 in not keeping up with the cutting edge of crypto technology.

Hey F5,
more than 2 years without any update on this idea. Great to see, that the feature is planned, but what is the ETA for that?
Your constantly telling us to implement PQC support (e.g. https://www.f5.com/company/blog/quantum-ready-a-practical-guide-to-enabling-pqc-with-f5 or https://www.f5.com/labs/articles/the-state-of-pqc-on-the-web). I'd really like to enable ML-KEM in any way on my HTTP Load Balancers, but they're still lacking support...
Hello F5 team, is PQC in the roadmap?
