Following their [shortening](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/safety-security/cryptography-migration-timeline/) of the deadline to implement post-quantum encryption to 2029, Google today [announced](https://security.googleblog.com/2026/03/post-quantum-cryptography-in-android.html) the “first phase” of its post-quantum transition.

What is the impact of this on or with GrapheneOS? Will they be able to use such improvements (which I’m guessing will be available through AOSP)?

GrapheneOS has been getting early access to the QPR patches via Motorola through their partnership, so they’ll likely get their hands on implementing these post-quantum patches long before it gets publicly added to the AOSP repo.
