Android 17 adds Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) at platform level to hide visited domains from network providers. 🔐
It also adds local-network permissions, enables Certificate Transparency by default, and supports 2G shutdowns. 🛡️

@knoppix95@mastodon.social Too bad that they don't support local research for security and privacy curious people. Local Certificate Authorities were demoted. Pinning is kind of default with bad countermeasures. Root detection and obfuscated code is allowed. They also do wrong things for the right reasons.
