Literally nowhere in the article it says that.
The TL;DR is: "QWAC certificates will have to show the green banner" and maybe non-QWAC will have some kind of warning.
The link on TFA is informative https://scotthelme.co.uk/looks-like-a-duck-swims-like-a-duck-qwacs-like-a-duck-probably-an-ev-certifiacate/ https://scotthelme.co.uk/looks-like-a-duck-swims-like-a-duck... (sounds like a CA lobbying for this crap)
In the end I suspect browsers might revoke some QWAC certs if they feel they are invalid
- raxxorrax 5y agoThe whole article is about mandatory certificates, of course that is basically taking control of the most widespread encryption in use today. Encryption that has its weakness in the chain of trust, which the EU wants to have an influence on. So yes, this is essentially handling encryption if the EU indeed wants to enforce mandated certificates. If you want to discuss technicalities and the problem of key exchange we can do that too.
