Yep crApple is the one pushing for the shorter SSL certificate length too. Their just adding headaches to everyone's lives for no good reason.
Shorter SSL certificate length means more security
Even Mozilla's pushing it
Yeah and having a 512 character password is more secure than 52.
This isn't some big exploit vector they're fixing, they're trying to make it more annoying to automate a IoT stack without the cloud.
Do you have a link to an explanation of this? I am curious to learn more
I'm going on what I heard from Security Now but it is my understanding that apple was the only one pushing for this and the others just voted to approve even though apple was never able to present a convincing argument for why it needed to be shortened.
