This decision was welcomed by the Tor community. https://blog.torproject.org/tls-certificate-for-onion-site/ https://twitter.com/torproject/status/1374814543252049920?lang=el https://newsletter.torproject.org/archive/2021-03-31-onion-tls-petition-ban-biometric-surveillance/ https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/https/ https://www.facebook.com/TorProject/photos/a.10151472966454951/10161197452869951/?type=3 HARICA does not check or censor website content protected by its certificates. However, every CA must follow a process to handle complaints from Third Parties and Law enforcement authorities associated with HARICA-issued certificates. https://news.harica.gr/article/signature_validation/ Mon, 07 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0300 https://news.harica.gr/article/signature_validation/ Decision 2015/1506/EU pursuant to Regulation (EU) 910/2014 (also known as eIDAS) has defined a number of baseline profiles (e.g. PAdES, XAdES, etc.) to ensure that electronic signatures can be created and validated anywhere in Europe. When a user performs a signing operation with Acrobat and tries to validate the signature at a later time using a signature validation software like DSS (Digital Signature Service) WebApp, either after the certificate’s expiration or revocation, the validation fails. https://news.harica.gr/article/harica_achievements/ Wed, 15 Jun 2022 13:10:14 +0300 https://news.harica.gr/article/harica_achievements/ Sky is the limit All of us involved in HARICA’s activities as a “Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP)” share a common philosophy that can be summed up in the words of Henry Ford: “If everyone moves forward in sync, then success comes naturally”. A few years ago, we decided to expand our activities beyond the Academic and Research boundaries. Since then, our projects have exceeded our initial expectations and we feel deeply honored to be trusted by high-profile leading organizations, institutions, public and private, in Greece, in Europe and in the rest of the world. https://news.harica.gr/article/success_story/ Sun, 25 Apr 2021 13:10:14 +0300 https://news.harica.gr/article/success_story/ Several years ago, an idea was born for an innovative (at the time) project based on the need for increased protection/security measures to encrypt communications over insecure networks, such as the Internet. A team of Information and Communication Engineers from various Greek Universities and Research Centers collaborated and created a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that served and covered the security needs of the Academic and Research Institutions of Greece for SSL/TLS server and S/MIME certificates. https://news.harica.gr/article/certificate_pinning/ Mon, 30 Nov 2020 14:08:14 +0300 https://news.harica.gr/article/certificate_pinning/ Dear HARICA subscribers, We recently became aware that some elements of our Certification Policy/Certificate Practice Statement related to Certificate Revocation have not been so clearly communicated to our Subscribers. This article attempts to describe some recommended practices for Subscribers, and some bad practices (to be avoided) in order to improve the overall security of the use of Publicly-Trusted Digital Certificates for the benefit of Relying Parties worldwide. Based on 4.9.1 Circumstances for revocation of HARICA’s Certificate Policy and Certification Practices Statement, by the time HARICA detects or receives a notification for a problematic certificate, must immediately inform the Subscriber.
