Dhimyotis / Certigna: Certificates issued with validity periods greater than 398-days

RESOLVED FIXED Certigna
AI Summary

Certigna issued 76 certificates with validity periods exceeding the 398-day limit, primarily affecting French government services. The issue was identified on September 28, 2020, and the CA notified the national supervisory body, ANSSI, of the non-compliance and intention to revoke the certificates. Although many certificates were revoked promptly, some remained in use, leading to delays. The CA has since adjusted its certificate issuance practices to comply with the regulations and improve oversight.
