Apple has proposed shortening the validity of security certificates used by websites from 398 days to just 45 days. SSL/TLS certificates ensure a user's connection to a website is secure in browsers like Safari. Currently, certificates have a lifespan of about 13 months. The proposal would decrease the maximum lifespan to 200 days after September 2025, then to 100 days one year later, and finally to 45 days by April 2027.
