What happened
Collection of Google/Chrome security updates and hardening initiatives: Chrome is launching a program to make HTTPS certificates quantum-resistant by collaborating on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) via the IETF PLANTS working group and will not immediately add traditional post-quantum X.509 certs to the Chrome Root Store due to performance/CT concerns. The Chrome Root Program and CA/Browser Forum are phasing out 11 legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods via ballots SC-080/SC-090/SC-091 with full deprecation phased in by March 2028. Android protections were expanded: AI-powered scam/ab
