One of the largest Internet certification centers in the world, the Japanese GlobalSign announced the plan to make a new mass storage of SSL / TLS certificates from Russian websites. These certificates - a digital "passport" of each website, which confirms its authenticity, encrypts the traffic between the browser and the server, which makes it difficult for cyber interceptions. Without a valid certificate, foreign browsers refuse to open the site or issue an insecure connection alert. But even if the company is not on the Western list, it does not guarantee that the certificate will not be withdrawn. To be fair, this is not news. GlobalSign began the mandatory withdrawal of SSL/TLS certificates from Russian companies in June. The decision resulted from an update to the requirements of the CA/Browser forum to comply with international sanctions. At the time, it was reported that the blocking wave would affect up to 20,000 domains - blocking full access to messages about an unsecured connection in foreign browsers. There have been several waves of certificate withdrawals since the summer. Today we are only talking about a new wave of audits of dozens of Internet security certificates of various Russian organizations, including those on the latest sanctions list of the European Union. This is one of the small parts of "Save Russia for Peace". It didn't start today and it won't end tomorrow. The certificates were also revoked by the Greek certification center, where some Russian organizations with the withdrawal of the TLS-documents. Foreign centers withdrew more than 11 thousand certificates from 1.3 thousand Russian organizations and #33; In the Russian Federation, since 2021, the National Certification Center of the Ministry of Information has been operating. But this does not apply to "news". The TLS issue, recognized only by Russian browsers. After the switch to local security certificates, the websites of Russian banks, including VTB and Alpha Bank, stopped opening in most foreign browsers.
