An important update will be implemented by Certificate Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum on 2023-06-01 to enhance the security of Code Signing Certificates and protect against potential theft by malware.
To fullfil CA/B forum new requirement, starting from 2023-04-23, OV Code Signing Certificates across all SSL brands will no longer support software-based issuance. Instead, the private key and Code Signing Certificates will be securely installed and stored in a compliant USB token or hardware security module (HSM).
Nethub will assist customers to order / renew OV Code Signing Certificates with USB token at that time, so customers do not need to worry about the changes.
