Release security certificates for transparency-enabled sites
The National Certification Center (NTC), created within the framework of the federal project "Information Security" of the national program "Digital Economy of Russia" on the basis of the Research Institute "VOSKHOD," began issuing security certificates for sites with support for transparency technology (certificate transparency). The Research Institute "VOSKHOD" announced this on May 23, 2022. This technology provides additional trust in security certificates for sites.
 | Based on the NTC, we have implemented a technology that allows us to make the issuance of security certificates or TLS certificates transparent to users and domain owners. In addition to ensuring the issuance of the certificates themselves, we additionally publish them in three independent logs - one public and two private. When interacting with the site, browsers "contact" these logs and check whether a certificate has really been issued to this site, "said Andrei Pyanchenko, deputy director of the VOSKHOD Research Institute. |  |
The implementation of certificate transparency technology is based on the fact that all certificates issued by the National Certification Center are written to three independent logs (logs), from which information cannot be deleted after writing due to the use of specialized cryptographic methods. Russian browsers (Atom and Yandex.Browser), when establishing a connection with the site, check that the site certificate is recorded in such logs. If the site certificate does not have log labels, the user will see an unsafe connection warning in the browser and a recommendation not to use the site.
As of May 2022, the NTC is working to create convenient services through which any site owner can check for a certificate on his site in certificate transparency logs.
| | Work on the development of the National Certification Center continues. For example, in the future, using public journals, any site owner will be able to check the release of certificates for his domain in real time. A special service is created for this purpose. Public journals are one way to make the certification process transparent. This approach allows us to ensure the maximum level of trust in all participants in the process - both from the owner of the web resource and from the Certification Center, ensuring the impossibility of forgery by any of the participants, "said Maxim Rymar, director of the VOSKHOD Research Institute. | |
In the context of opposition to sanctions the policy, in March Ministry of Digital Science of Russia , on the basis of the National Certification Center, it organized, using, EPGU the issuance the Russian legal of security certificates (TLS certificates) for sites for persons. TLS certificates are required to confirm the legitimacy of sites enciphering and network traffic between the site browser and the user over the protocol. Any HTTPS legal entity or may public authority obtain one or more TLS certificates free of charge and embed them in its information resources. You can get a certificate online through the portal Gosuslug.
Free TLS certificates will ensure the availability of sites
On March 4, 2022 Ministry of Digital Science of the Russian Federation , they announced that in the near future regulatory legal acts would be adopted regulating the work of the national of the certification center for the free issuance of TLS certificates Russian legal to persons.
