What happened
This document bundle contains multiple Google security posts and program updates focused on long-term cryptographic resilience, platform hardening, and user protections. Key announcements: Chrome is launching a program to prepare HTTPS for the quantum era by pursuing Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) via the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding traditional post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; MTCs aim to reduce TLS/Certificate Transparency performance and bandwidth costs introduced by post‑quantum schemes. The Chrome Root Program and the CA/Browser Forum are pha
