Google Doubles Down on Pixel Security with Quantum-Proof Chip
Google's commitment to Android security has been evident in its Pixel series. The company takes pride in meeting the stringent hardware security requirements of GrapheneOS, a custom Android operating system designed with security and privacy top of mind.
The latest Pixel 11 series continues this trend by introducing a new chip with protection against threats that most Android users haven't even thought of.
At the heart of the Pixel 11 is the Tensor G6 processor, which Google claims is up to 20% more efficient and loads apps 15% faster than its predecessor. However, what's special about this hardware is the addition of a new Titan M3 security coprocessor.
This chip brings post-quantum cryptography to secure boot on your device, meaning that it can verify the bootloader's signatures in a way that a quantum computer cannot crack.
