What happened
This feed aggregates Google/Chrome security updates and Android ecosystem hardening. Key items: Chrome is developing Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) via the IETF PLANTS working group to enable scalable, quantum-resistant HTTPS and will not immediately add post-quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store; the CA/Browser Forum and Chrome Root Program are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods (ballots SC-080/SC-090/SC-091) with full effect by March 2028. Android updates include expanded AI-driven scam protections (including in-call protection pilots for financial apps), a
