“There's lots of other providers”
Are you sure about that? I took a look at the root certificates that are included in Firefox[0], and AFAICT none of them are located in Russia.
There are some Chinese CAs there though, so perhaps the Russian banks could use them instead.

- zamadatix 5y agoPrecisely, having plenty of providers doesn't mean there is one in each country and most countries get by fine without a local provider. If a country finds itself commercially banned by so many countries it can't get a certificate from any of them and by the time this has happened it hasn't been able to get a domestic CA vetted by the international community then trust is broken on a deeper level than the CA system is designed to handle and is going to fall apart for that region either way.
