Move comes weeks after Mozilla blasted certificate authority for failings
Google is severing its trust in Entrust after what it describes as a protracted period of failures around compliance and general improvements.
Google pointed to a series of incident reports over the past few years concerning Entrust, saying they"highlighted a pattern of concerning behaviors" that have ultimately seen the security company fall down in Google's estimations.by Mozilla, which compiled a sprawling list of Entrust's certificate issues between March and May this year.
"Over the past six years, we have observed a pattern of compliance failures, unmet improvement commitments, and the absence of tangible, measurable progress in response to publicly disclosed incident reports. When these factors are considered in aggregate and considered against the inherent risk each publicly trusted CA poses to the internet ecosystem, it is our opinion that Chrome's continued trust in Entrust is no longer justified.
