Security Announce: SSL certificates renewed

Hash: SHA1
SSL certificates for gna.org and mail.gna.org has been renewed for 1200 days.
These certificates are not signed by a real certificate authority: their purpose is not to confirm our identity but to provide you a way to be sure that https://gna.org and https://mail.gna.org today are running on the same machine they were yesterday. Also, certificates are required for an https server to run, and https is a way to secure all the data transiting between your computer and our servers, like authentication information.

RE: gna! CA certificate? (posted by yeupou, Mon 16 Feb 2004 11:18:42 AM UTC) All the browser I know can accept the certificates for the future session and so not complain any further.
Apart from that, making the CA certificate we use looks like a good idea but currently I do not know what it would implies exactly. |
