Industry moves to 3072-bit key minimum RSA code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, to comply with new industry standards for code signing certificates, DigiCert will make the following changes to our code signing certificate process.
- Stop issuing 2048-bit key code signing certificates
- Only issue 3072-bit key or stronger code signing certificates
- Use 4096-bit key intermediate CA and root certificates to issue our code signing certificates.
See Appendix A in the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Code Signing Certificates to learn more about these industry changes,
How do these changes affect my existing 2048-bit key certificates?
All existing 2048-bit key size code signing certificates issued before May 27, 2021, will remain active. You can continue to use these certificates to sign code until they expire.
What if I need 2048-bit key code signing certificates?
Take these actions, as needed, before May 27, 2021:
- Order new 2048-bit key certificates
- Renew expiring 2048-bit key certificates
- Reissue 2048-bit key certificates
How do these changes affect my code signing certificate process starting May 27, 2021?
Reissues for code signing certificate
Starting May 27, 2021, all reissued code signing certificates will be:
- 3072-bit key or stronger. See eTokens for EV code signing certificates and HSMs for EV code signing certificates below.
- Automatically issued from new intermediate CA and root certificates. See New ICA and root certificates below.
New and renewed code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, all new and renewed code signing certificates will be:
- 3072-bit key or stronger. See eTokens for EV code signing certificates and HSMs for EV code signing certificates below.
- Automatically issued from new intermediate CA and root certificates. See New ICA and root certificates below.
CSRs for code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, you must use a 3072-bit RSA key or larger to generate all certificate signing requests (CSR). We will no longer accept 2048-bit key CSRs for code signing certificate requests.
eTokens for EV code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, you must use an eToken that supports 3072-bit keys when you reissue, order, or renew an EV code signing certificate.
- When you order or renew an EV code signing certificate, DigiCert includes a 3072-bit eToken with your purchase. DigiCert provides an eToken with the Preconfigured Hardware Token provisioning option.
- When your reissue your EV code signing certificate reissues, you must provide your own 3072-bit eToken. If you don't have one, you will be unable to install your reissued certificate on your eToken.
- You must have a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or Common Criteria EAL4+ compliant device.
HSMs for EV code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, you must use an HSM that supports 3072-bit keys. Contact your HSM vendor for more information.
New ICA and root certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, DigiCert will issue all new code signing certificates from our new RSA and ECC intermediate CA and root certificates (new, renewed, and reissued).
RSA ICA and root certificates:
- DigiCert Trusted G4 Code Signing RSA4096 SHA384 2021 CA1
- DigiCert Trusted Root G4
ECC ICA and root certificates:
- DigiCert Global G3 Code Signing ECC SHA384 2021 CA1
- DigiCert Global Root G3
No action is required unless you practice certificate pinning, hard code certificate acceptance, or operate a trust store.
If you do any of these things, we recommend updating your environment as soon as possible. Stop pinning and hard coding ICAs or make the necessary changes to ensure certificates issued from the new ICA certificates are trusted (in other words, they can chain up to their issuing ICA and trusted root certificates).

CertCentral Services API: Auto-reissue support for Multi-year Plans
We are happy to announce that the CertCentral Services API now supports automatic certificate reissue requests (auto-reissue) for Multi-year Plans. The auto-reissue feature makes it easier to maintain SSL/TLS coverage on your Multi-year Plans.
You can enable auto-reissue for individual orders in your CertCentral account. When auto-reissue is enabled, we automatically create and submit a certificate reissue request 30 days before the most recently issued certificate on the order expires.
Enable auto-reissue for a new order
To give you control over the auto-reissue setting for new Multi-year Plans, we added a new request parameter to the endpoints for ordering DV, OV, and EV TLS/SSL certificates: auto_reissue.
By default, auto-reissue is disabled for all orders. To enable auto-reissue when you request a new Multi-year Plan, set the value of the auto_reissue parameter to 1 in the body of your request.
Example request body:
Note: In new order requests, we ignore the auto_reissue parameter if:
- The product does not support Multi-year Plans.
- Multi-year Plans are disabled for the account.
Update auto-reissue setting for existing orders
To give you control over the auto-reissue setting for existing Multi-year Plans, we added a new endpoint: Update auto-reissue settings. Use this endpoint to enable or disable the auto-reissue setting for an order.
Get auto-reissue setting for an existing order
To help you track the auto-reissue setting for existing certificate orders, we added a new response parameter to the Order info endpoint: auto_reissue. The auto_reissue parameter returns the current auto-reissue setting for the order.
ICA certificate chain selection for public DV flex certificates
We are happy to announce that select public DV certificates now support Intermediate CA certificate chain selection:
- GeoTrust DV SSL
- Thawte SSL 123 DV
- RapidSSL Standard DV
- RapidSSL Wildcard DV
- Encryption Everywhere DV
You can add a feature to your CertCentral account that enables you to control which DigiCert ICA certificate chain issues the end-entity certificate when you order these public DV products.
This feature allows you to:
- Set the default ICA certificate chain for each supported public DV certificate.
- Control which ICA certificate chains certificate requestors can use to issue their DV certificate.
Configure ICA certificate chain selection
To enable ICA selection for your account:
- Contact your account manager or our Support team.
- Then, in your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Settings > Product Settings.
- On the Product Settings page, configure the default and allowed intermediates for each supported and available DV certificate.
For more information and step-by-step instructions, see the Configure the ICA certificate chain feature for your public TLS certificates.
DigiCert Services API: DV certificate support for ICA certificate chain selection
In the DigiCert Services API, we made the following updates to support ICA selection in your DV certificate order requests:
- Updated the Product list endpoint
After adding the ICA certificate selection chain feature to your account, the Product list endpoint returns each ICA certificate's name and ID available to issue end-entity certificates for the supported DV products (see allowed_ca_certs). - Updated the Product limits endpoint
After you configure the allowed and default ICA certificates for a DV product, the Product limits endpoint returns the default issuing ICA (default_intermediate) and allowed issuing ICAs (allowed_intermediates) that certificate requestor with a given container and user role assignment can select. - Updated the Product info endpoint
The Product list endpoint now returns the name, ID, and certificate chain information for the issuing ICAs you can select when you request a given product (see allowed_ca_certs). - Added support for ICA chain selection to these DV certificate order requests:
Pass in the issuing ICA certificate's ID as the value for the ca_cert_id parameter in your order request's body.
Example DV certificate request:

DigiCert 停止颁发 SHA-1 代码签名证书
星期二， 2020 年 12 月 1 日 MST,DigiCert 将停止颁发 SHA-1 代码签名证书和 SHA-1 EV 代码签名证书。
注意：所有现有的 SHA-1 代码签名/EV 代码签名证书在到期前将一直有效。
DigiCert 为什么进行这些更改？
为了遵循新的行业标准，证书颁发机构 (CA) 必须在 2021 年 1 月 1 日之前进行以下更改：
- 停止颁发 SHA-1 代码签名证书
- 停止使用 SHA-1 中间证书 CA 和 SHA-1 根证书颁发 SHA-256 算法代码签名和时间戳证书
请参阅关于颁发和管理公共信任的代码签名证书的基准要求附录 A。
SHA-1 代码签名证书更改对我有什么影响？

DigiCert 更换中间 CA 证书
2020 年 11 月 2 日，DigiCert 将更换另一组中间 CA 证书 (ICA)。关于更换的 ICA 证书列表，请参阅我们的 DigiCert ICA 更新知识库文章。
对我有什么影响？
推出新 ICA 不会影响现有证书。从旧 ICA 颁发的所有证书到期之前，我们不会从证书存储中删除旧 ICA。这意味着从被替换掉的 ICA 颁发的活跃证书将继续受到信任。
但是，它会影响您补发这些现有证书，因为会从新的 ICA 颁发。我们建议您始终将所提供的 ICA 添加到您安装的每个证书中。为了确保无缝地完成 ICA 替换流程，这一直是我们推荐的最佳做法。
无需操作，除非您执行以下任一操作：
- 固定旧版的中间 CA 证书
- 对接受旧版中间 CA 证书进行硬编码
- 管理含有旧版中间 CA 证书的信任商店
如果您执行以上任何一项操作，我们建议您尽快更新您的环境。停止固定 ICA 和对其进行硬编码，或进行必要的更改以确保通过新 ICA 颁发的证书受信任（换句话说，可以链接到其更新的 ICA 和受信任的根）。
中间 CA 证书更换
确保密切关注下列页面。这些是活跃页面，会定期更新 ICA 证书更换信息并提供新的 DigiCert 中间 CA 证书的副本。
DigiCert 为什么要更换中间 CA 证书？
我们更换 ICA 的目的是：
- 促使客户可以更加灵活地更换 ICA
- 介绍从任何指定 ICA 颁发证书的范围，以减少行业标准和 CA/浏览器论坛指南对中间证书和最终实体证书进行更改所带来的影响
- 使用最新改进保护所有 ICA 运行，提高互联网的安全性
如果您有疑问或顾虑，请联系客户经理或我们的支持团队。
