R1354 (16-Jul-2024)

This release introduces Multi-year Subscription support for EV SSL certificates, SSL Subscription Start and End Date information within SSL invoices and strengthening Build-Your-Own Enterprise CA with PQC algorithms support for long-term security. Additionally, we've made few enhancements to our current IGTF Host Private trust offering at par with industry standards, enhanced order viewing experience and few API updates.

What's New

• Multi-year EV Subscription SSL: Enterprises and Resellers can now avail Subscription-based SSL/TLS through our ordering form for Multi-year EV SSL subscription (up to 3 Years). This comes with multi-year EV SSL Invoice & auto-reissue support before 30/60 days of certificate expiry.

• Subscription Start & End Date within SSL invoices: Added support for a new invoicing option 'Invoicing at the time of certificate issuance' alongside our existing invoicing options. This helps enterprises to see SSL Subscription Start Date & End Date within the invoice copy of DV/OV/EV SSL orders. To avail this flexibility or to switch to this new option, please contact your Account Manager.

• PQC Algorithms Support under Private Trust: Added support for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms to strengthen Build-Your-Own Enterprise CA for longer security. This includes DILITHIUM, FALCON & SPHINCSPlus algorithms. Please note that, the final standards for Post-Quantum Cryptography by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) are still under standardization.

Enhancements

• Enhanced Private IGTF Host certificate capabilities: We've enhanced our Private IGTF Host certificate capabilities at par with industry standards.

  • Choice to include/exclude free 'www' variant as part of SAN

  • Multiple Custom Certificate Policy OIDs

  • Included 'Data Encipherment' in Key Usage

• Enhanced Order viewing experience: We've enhanced order viewing experience to see 'Certificate Validity Details' and 'Certificate Revocation Information'. This update provides users with comprehensive information about the start date and end date of their certificates, ensuring a better user experience.

• API Improvements: Multi-year EV SSL via REST APIs and other minor updates.
