Detail:
In a short-on-detail post Google are indicating a 2029 cutoff for, and we assume, the use classical algorithms for authentication related activities.
They indicate that Android 17 is going to use ML-DSA for digital signatures.
They don’t indicate if there will be any legacy capacity, for example will they still accept older non-PQC signatures created before 2029 or will it be a hard cutoff.
They also do not specify a minimum set of ML-DSA parameters.
We suggest readers keep track of this and assume that classical algorithms will start becoming vulnerable to Quantum based attacks in 2029.
In the light of Google’s announcement, it is likely we will see changes to the current deadlines set by Government agencies soon.
Doing nothing is not an option.
