Every bar totals 100%. Bright segments show hybrid key exchange, patterned segments show conventional key exchange.

Percentages are composition shares, not separate adoption rates within each management group. Paper, Figure 3(b) and §6.3.2

Adoption differs sharply across jurisdictions.

By March 2026, hybrid key exchange reaches approximately 57% of endpoints in the USA’s national sample and 52% in Australia’s, compared with 16% in Germany’s.

GOVERNMENT SERVICES

National adoption does not tell the whole story.

Government endpoints show a different pattern from the broader national samples. In Australia, government adoption is slightly higher, while Canada and India show substantially lower adoption among government endpoints. A national average can therefore hide important differences in public-service deployment.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTION

Shared platforms account for most adoption.

Across all eight national samples, most hybrid deployments are attributed to provider-managed endpoints. National comparisons therefore need to consider the infrastructure serving those endpoints, alongside the transition guidance published by each jurisdiction.
