Does anyone know how this new SSL cert expiry date thing is going to affect things like user authentication with SSL certs, i.e. for openvpn.

If we're running our own CA, can I get safari, chrome et al to accept longer cert expiry?

#Gültigkeit von #TLS - #Zertifikaten wird drastisch verkürzt

Ab 2029 dürfen #TLS-Zertifikate statt 398 nur noch höchstens 47 Tage lang gültig sein. Der von #Apple eingereichte Vorschlag hat breite Zustimmung erhalten.

Das #CA / #Browser #Forum hat beschlossen, die maximale Gültigkeitsdauer digitaler Zertifikate für den verschlüsselten Datenaustausch via #SSL / #TLS von aktuell 398 auf deutlich geringere 47 Tage zu reduzieren.

Hello #fediverse, I am looking for some #cybersecurity help about #safari on #iOS

[Edit: got an answer! Safari removed the lock icon in iOS 18.4 in favor of a full screen warning for non SSL connections. Paraphrased original question below]

I told my mom to always look for the #SSL lock in the URL bar before typing anything into a website (and check URLs for validity and so on).

Now, she never gets the SSL lock in Safari for any website. Ever. I tried to google why and am stumped. Any ideas?

#HELP

I just received a concerning email from the OTF (@opentechfund.bsky.social) stating that a major source of their funding is in jeopardy.

If you care about open-source, anti-censorship, or the open internet, please consider supporting one of the projects they fund.

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)
