When does a SSL certificate have to be valid?
Each SSL certificate is valid starting from a specific date and up to the expiration date. What’s the point in that “valid from” date? Why do we want a certificate to only be valid after a specific date?
Why do certificates have a start of validity date?
Historically, certificates have a start-of-validity date mostly for symmetry: they have an end-of-validity, so the original designers found it appropriate, for unspecified reasons, to include a start-of-validity date as well. Nowadays, such dates have found a usage, which is past validation.
What does it mean when your SSL certificate is not trusted?
Nobody who has taken the time to purchase and install an SSL certificate wants to encounter the dreaded “certificate not trusted” message on their browser when trying to access their website. Unfortunately, it can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes these messages pop up due to a system error or certain settings on your web browser.
Is there a limit to how long a certificate can be valid?
There was a point where it was possible to get certificates for five years or more. Today, the limit is three years, and the industry may be looking to reduce it even further. Shorter certificate validity makes it much easier to update security standards.
