Mobile PQ networking | Quantum-Safe Claims & Education
Verdict
Mobile apps are not quantum-proof via store listing claims. OS TLS hybrid support, pin sets, and app-layer crypto all need verification—pins can block larger handshakes if mismanaged.
Overview
Mobile is often the last fleet to update. Certificate pinning strategies must allow crypto agility.
Cryptographic profile
- Signatures: OS TLS stacks, Certificate pinning, App-layer crypto
- Hash: App-dependent
- Public-key exposure: Mobile OS update lag and pinning brittleness.
