VeriSign Class 1 Individual Subscriber CA - G3

On October 10, 2010, VeriSign will be migrating its public root certification authorities for Digital IDs for Secure Email Certificates from 1024–bit RSA keys to 2048-bit RSA keys. Your current valid Digital IDs for Secure Email Certificates issued from our current 1024 RSA keys will continue to operate correctly and securely after the migration to the 2048-bit RSA keys.

VeriSign is migrating its public root certification authorities from 1024 –bit RSA keys to 2048-bit RSA keys. Digital IDs for Secure Email Certificates are currently issued by the “VeriSign Class 1 Individual Subscriber CA - G2” intermediate CA under the “VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority” root. After October 10, 2010 certificates will be issued by the “VeriSign Class 1 Individual Subscriber CA – G3” intermediate CA under the “VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority – G3”

This change and the timing is in line with industry best practices VeriSign follows to ensure the highest level of security as well as convenience for our customers. This change is an industry wide initiative, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has recommended transitioning over to the 2048 bit keys by the end of 2010. There is no action necessary on your part for your current certificates. Your current valid Digital IDs for Secure Email Certificate issued will continue to operate correctly and securely after October 10, 2010. There is no need to replace your existing Certificates. VeriSign is providing this advance information to ensure a smooth transition. It is not a recommended best practice to use Digital IDs for Secure Email Certificates for client authentication. If your organization is using these certificates for client authentication, we recommend the “VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority – G3” is included in your application’s root stores to ensure continued recognition.
