This website has its trafic encrypted with a StartCom Free SSL Certificate. As I recently renewed a certificate, I got this information:
Notice: 1. Mozilla and Google decided to distrust all StartCom root certificates as of 21st of October, this situation will have an impact in the upcoming release of Firefox and Chrome in January. Apple's decision announced on Nov 30th of distrusting all StartCom root certificates as of 1st of December will have an impact in their upcoming security update. 2. Any subscribers that paid the validation fee after Oct. 21st can get full refund by request. 3. StartCom will provide an interim solution soon and will replace all the issued certificates with issuance date on or after Oct 21st in case of requested. Meanwhile StartCom is updating all systems and will generate new root CAs as requested by Mozilla to regain the trust in these browsers.
I checked this on the Mozilla and Apple website. I couldn't find any information on the Microsoft website about this.
After some earches on Microsoft.com, I can link to :
- Microsoft Trusted Root Certificate Program Participants
- Microsoft Trusted Root Program Requirements
- Microsoft Trusted Root Certificate Program Audit Requirements
I'm planning a move to Letsencrypt certificates...
More information to come.
