Post-quantum TLS readiness
northwestern.edu
Needs an upgrade: no TLS 1.3
Short answer
No. As of 2026-11-03, northwestern.edu does not negotiate post-quantum key exchange; it uses secp256r1 over TLSv1.2 (Quantum Aether grade C), so recorded traffic is exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later.

|---|---|
| Key exchange | secp256r1 |
