The development of quantum computers is no longer an academic curiosity. For public administration, the military, and organizations responsible for national security, it has become a concrete vector of strategic risk that forces a fundamental shift in the approach to cryptography. The latest actions of the Department of Defense (Department of War) confirm that the […]
In 2025, Sectigo initiated one of the most significant infrastructure changes in its PKI ecosystem, namely the migration of certificate issuance to new, proprietary Public Root Certification Authorities. This change affects all major product lines, including SSL/TLS certificates (DV, OV, EV) and S/MIME, and has a direct impact on how trust chains are built in […]
For the past decade, the development of network cryptography has progressed in an evolutionary manner. We updated OpenSSL libraries, replaced SHA-1 with SHA-256, increased RSA key lengths, but all of this remained within a familiar security model. In 2025, for the first time in more than 20 years, we are facing a change that is […]
SSL/TLS certificate is a key security element for every website. It ensures the encryption of data transmitted between the browser and the server and gives users confidence in your domain. However, even the best-configured certificate loses its value the moment it expires – and a single day of delay can lead to:
NIS2 is a directive that in many organizations has been perceived primarily as a procedural requirement: policies, registers, classifications, audits. Meanwhile, its real impact is much deeper – true compliance begins only at the level of cryptography. This is where the directive expects proof that the organization understands modern threats and can maintain technical security […]
In recent years, the way we generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request) has undergone a revolution. A few years ago, a CSR was one of the least problematic elements of the certificate issuance process – a simple text file in which you entered a domain, optionally the company details, generated a key, and that was it. […]
From us: With this article, we begin a new series of publications on our website: HEXSSL Insight. These will be extensive articles containing our expertise supported by numerous examples from our own experience. We hope that the information contained in these articles will help you better understand all aspects related to broadly defined online security. […]
January 29, 2025 – Sectigo, a global leader in digital certificates and certificate lifecycle management (CLM), announced the acquisition of Entrust’s public certificate division. This transaction marks a milestone for both companies, strengthening Sectigo’s position as a key player in the digital security sector while allowing Entrust to focus on developing innovative cryptographic solutions designed […]
