SEALSQ Entrust Certificates Will No Longer Be Trusted by Chrome

Entrust Certificates Will No Longer Be Trusted by Chrome Starting Nov 1st 2024 

  • For a certificate authority to be trusted by a browser, it must adhere to specific requirements set by the CA/Browser Forum. 
  • To maintain consistent and ongoing trust, browsers receive regular audit reports regarding CA operations and compliance. 
  • Transparency is essential. Certificate Authorities are expected to work cooperatively with browsers to address and prevent issues. 
  • Recently, root programs expressed a lack of confidence in Entrust's TLS certificate issuance practices. 
  • Consequently, Google decided to revoke its trust in Entrust certificates on the Chrome browser. 

 

What are the implications for Entrust Customers? 

  • Starting November 1, 2024, Entrust TLS certificates will no longer be valid on the Google Chrome Browser, with other major browsers likely to follow. 
  • Post-distrust, any website using an Entrust certificate will be considered unsecured. 
  • Certificates issued on or before October 31, 2024, will remain valid for their term, but no further certificates issued by Entrust will be recognized as valid by Google.
