- We are going to encrypt the expiration emails of the June 2025 certificate
- He says that most users have automated renovations anyway
- Move will also see that the organization will eliminate millions of email addresses from its database
Let’s Cicrypt has revealed that it will no longer notify the website administrators when their SSL/TLS certificates are about to expire. While this sounds like problems, it really seems to be a good thing.
The news was confirmed by the executive and co -founder director of the company, Josh AAS, in a blog post that indicates the notifications by email will stop out on June 4, 2025, citing four key reasons. The first is that a majority subscribers have an automated renewal of certificates, reliably, making the service somewhat obsolete.
The second reason is to reduce costs: providing expiration notifications costs the organization “tens of thousands of dollars per year,” AAS said, added that money could be better spent elsewhere.
User Privacy Protection
“Providing expiration notifications adds complexity to our infrastructure, which requires time and attention to handle and increases the probability that mistakes are committed,” he said in the article. “In the long term, particularly as we add support for new service components, we need to manage the general complexity by eliminating the system components that can no longer be justified.”
However, the fourth reason is particularly interesting, since it essentially protects user privacy. Sending notifications by email also means that the organization needs to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records. “As an organization that values privacy, eliminating this requirement is important for us.”
In other words, CIFFRYPT will eliminate millions of email addresses from your database, reducing the risk that a threat actor will snatch those emails.
For those who wish to continue receiving notifications by email, Cicrrypt suggests using a third -party service such as Red Soft Lite certificates, which is free for up to 250 certificates.
We are going to encrypt a free, automated and open certificate authority (CA) that provides SSL/TLS certificates to websites. It helps to encrypt web traffic, ensuring safe connections between users and websites (HTTPS).
