RESOLVED
Start Commercial (StartCom) Ltd.
AI Summary
StartCom Ltd. requested the removal of their 1024-bit CA root certificate, known as the 'Free SSL Certification Authority', from Mozilla's NSS. The request was made due to the root's outdated key size and the successful transition of StartCom's CA business to a newer root. The removal was confirmed to take place between June and December 2009, allowing previous subscribers to retain access for legacy purposes. The certificate was ultimately removed in July 2010.
Chronology
- Initial removal request submitted by StartCom.
