What happened
A set of Google security blog posts describing coordinated improvements across web and Android security: Chrome is launching a program to make HTTPS certificates quantum-resistant by developing Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) with the IETF PLANTS working group and will not immediately add traditional post‑quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; the CA/Browser Forum and Chrome Root Program are phasing out 11 legacy domain‑validation methods (SC‑080/SC‑090/SC‑091) with full effect by March 2028. Android updates include expanded AI‑driven scam protections, Google Play’s strengthened AI/real
