How 47-Day Certificate Lifecycles Will Transform Digital Security

In a dramatic shift that will reshape digital security practices, the tech industry stands at the cusp of a fundamental change in how we manage public SSL/TLS certificates. Apple’s recent proposal to reduce certificate lifecycles to just 47 days by 2028 reflects a growing trend, supported by other leading browsers like Google, advocating for shorter public certificate lifespans to improve security. Additionally, the proposal includes a corresponding decrease in the Domain Control Validation (DCV) reuse period, which stands to drop to just 10 days by 2028.
