The path to 47-day SSL/TLS certificate validity

Complete 2025 guide

A practical whitepaper for organizations facing short-lived digital certificates

47-Day TLS Guide

Introduction

The maximum validity period for public SSL/TLS certificates will be progressively reduced to 47 days according to the CA/Browser Forum decision.

The context

This evolution is part of a trend that began over 13 years ago, during which certificate lifespans have continuously decreased.

The goal is twofold: strengthen the overall security of the digital ecosystem and accelerate cryptographic agility, while limiting the risks associated with compromised digital identities.

The impact

For organizations, this is not just a technical evolution, but a true paradigm shift.

Certificate management is now becoming a continuous, high-frequency process, impacting all IT operations, regulatory compliance, and strategic risk management.

An opportunity for transformation

Organizations that adapt quickly will not only reduce their risk exposure; they will also gain the agility to anticipate and effectively comply with new standards and regulatory requirements.

Your strategic guide

This whitepaper analyzes the factors driving the reduction in certificate lifespans, the impact on the entire digital ecosystem, and the concrete actions your organization can implement to strengthen its resilience and preserve trust.
