Fossa.me introduces CRL for CA issuing S/MIME certificates

Fossa.me received an update which introduces CRL support for Fossa.Me Authority F2 Certification Authority. CRL (or Certificate Revocation List) is a list of revoked certificates (or more precisely their serial numbers), users presenting those certificates (had been revoked earlier) are no longer trusted.

Fossa.Me Authority F2 implements CRL in accordance to RFC 5280. The CRL is issued every hour. Also Fossa.me provides a way for authorized and authenticated user to revoke one of his/her own certificates on the Web page.

As well, now our new users will receive an e-mail containing details about issued certificate and its validity dates.

Terms and conditions update. Privacy aspects.

By this terms update Fossa Team would like to explicitly state that Fossa Guard extension keeps private key within User's Google account space and does not transfer or copy it somewhere else in any form.

User's private key is packaged into PKCS#12 secured by a passphrase. Each private key usage is adviced by a corresponding popup asking User for the passphrase.

Fossa.me server keeps a registry of all issued certificates associated with User's public information from Google account. It helps to identify and validate recipients with Fossa certificates during mailing.

Fossa Team keeps a right to revoke issued Fossa certificate in the case of law enforcement appeals or judicial decisions.
