Google Launched Root Certificate Authority to make the Internet Safer and Faster

Google is one of the best and most important websites and the company of internet and working extra hard to make the internet easier, safer and faster for the users. Now the Google has announced the development of its certificate authority efforts, and in the result of these efforts, Google has launched a Root Certificate Authority. This authority allows the company to manage all of its certification needs independently.

The Ambition of Google:

The company is working efficiently and making significant efforts to make the Internet safer; this can be done by getting all web services to use HTTPS, it includes:

·         Boosting Secure Pages in search results.

·         Tracking the use of HTTPS on the world's top 100 websites.

The subordinate certificate authority GIAG2 has been operating by Google; it is signed by GeoTrust Global CA. The next step of Google is to get the ability for the issue of root certificates for products on its own to support application like content transfer app and more.

Trust Services of Google:

Google has acquired two roots CAs, these are:

Ø  GlobalSign R2

Ø  GlobalSign R4

To change the independent infrastructure , the company is continuing using its GIAG2 certificate authority.

A security and privacy engineer at Google, Ryan Hurst said, "If you are building products that intend to connect to a Google property moving forward you need to at minimum include the above Root Certificates. With that said even though we now operate our own roots, we may still choose to perform subordinate CAs under third-party operated roots to transfer content , for this reason, if you are developing code intended to connect to a Google property, we still recommend you include a comprehensive set of trustworthy roots."

So, Google is working to improve the infrastructure, and in result now Google has launched Root Certificate Authority.
