Apple Prepares to Improve (Even More) Safari Security in September

Safari

Many of you will use in your day to day Safari, Apple's web browser. A browser that is probably the one that works best on our Apple devices and that has also improved with each update. Now, without having gone through a Keynote, Apple has just announced that as of next September 1 Safari will reject all HTTPS certificates that are older than 13 months. After the jump we give you all the details of this important security novelty.

And this is an important novelty since it will force all web developers to update their certificates, some will do so but many others will not, and it is precisely for the latter that they want to make Safari only accept certificates that are at most one year old, the others will be rejected as these are likely to have security holes. HTTPS certificates protect us from someone literally seeing our traffic by coming between our network and our device.

Right now certificates of up to 825 days are accepted, with this change that the Cupertino boys want to bring this time is reduced to only 398 days, something that will undoubtedly provide much more security to our devices and especially to our privacy, one of Apple's biggest concerns. The announcement they have made from Cupertino is interesting, something that denotes that their main objective continues to be the security of our devices and the protection of our privacy. We will have to look at the new features that the next iOS 14 brings with it since without a doubt one of its maxims will be the security of the system. From Actualidad iPhone We will inform you of any new developments that are found in the operating systems, whether announced from Cupertino or not.
