Ассоциация CA/Browser Forum, выступающая площадкой для совместного принятия решений с учётом интересов производителей браузеров и удостоверяющих центров, утвердила новые требования к организациям, выдающим сертификаты для HTTPS. В новых требованиях объявлены устаревшими 11 методов проверки владения доменом, для которого выдаётся сертификат. Прекращение поддержки устаревших методов будет производиться поэтапно до марта 2028 года. В качестве причин прекращения поддержки отмечается фокусирование внимания на автоматически выполняемых и криптографически верифицируемых методах проверки.
