What happened

This collection of Google Security Blog posts outlines multiple forward-looking platform and ecosystem security efforts: Chrome is pursuing quantum-safe HTTPS by collaborating in the IETF PLANTS working group on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) rather than immediately adding post‑quantum X.509 roots to the Chrome Root Store, addressing Certificate Transparency and performance concerns for post‑quantum cryptography. Chrome/Root Program and the CA/Browser Forum are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (ballots SC‑080/SC‑090/SC‑091) with a full deprecation target of March
