Security for the Quantum Era: Implementing Post-Quantum Cryptography in Android

Google is preparing Android for the advent of quantum computing by integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards into its operating system. This proactive, multi-year migration aims to protect sensitive data and transactions from being compromised by future quantum computers. The PQC enhancements will be tested starting with the Android 17 beta release and will be available in the production version, establishing a quantum-resistant chain of trust across the platform.
