Dear LeaderTelecom B.V. customers, on behalf of all of our employees we warmly congratulate you with a long-awaited happy holidays – Christmas and New Year.

LeaderTelecom B.V. received the 2022 FD Gazellen Award– for the third time in a row! The award was given in the “Netherlands – Western region – Small” category. It reflects our commitment to continuous business improvement. We are among the fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands.

As we published previously, the CA/B Forum proposed a start date of 15 November 2022 for switching to storing private keys for OV code signing certificates on devices that meet FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+ or similar security standards. However, the decision was made to extend the transition period.

According to the SSL industry regulator CA/B Forum, starting November 15, 2022, private keys for OV Code Signing certificates must be stored on devices that meet FIPS 140 Level 2, Common Criteria EAL 4+ or equivalent security standards. As a result, the protection of the private key will be strengthened and brought to the level of EV (Extended Validation).

The CA/B Forum, the regulator in the SSL certificate industry, has passed Ballot SC53 by a majority vote. SHA-1 OCSP signatures are no longer supported.
