What happened
This collection of Google security blog posts announces multiple platform and ecosystem security initiatives: Chrome is developing quantum-safe HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) in coordination with the IETF PLANTS working group rather than immediately adding post-quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store, citing Certificate Transparency and performance concerns. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum ballots will phase out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (phone/email/whois/mail/etc.) with full effect by March 2028. Android-focused posts describe strengthened
