Google to Reduce SSL Certificate Lifespan to 90 Days

90 Days SSL

Recently, Google declared its plan to reduce the maximum validity for public TLS (SSL) certificates from 398 to 90 days.

Under its “Moving Forward, Together” plan, Google intended to limit the maximum public TLS certificate validity to 90 days via “future policy updates or a CA/B Forum Ballot Proposal,” a small but crucial point that should be noted.

The maximum duration of a public SSL certificate has been reduced from three years to two years to one year, and now Google has said that it plans to shorten this duration to 90 days further.

This 90-day maximum will probably be in place by the end of 2024, while the exact date is unknown.

The ecosystem will avoid complex, tedious, and error-prone issuing procedures by encouraging automation and adopting practices that reduce certificate lifetime. 

“Reducing certificate lifetime encourages automation and adopting practices that drive the ecosystem away from baroque, time-consuming, and error-prone issuance processes,” Google.

Google mentions that these changes will speed up the adoption of new security capabilities and best practices and promote the adaptability needed to switch the ecosystem to quantum-resistant algorithms quickly. 

Also, less reliance on “broken” revocation checking solutions that cannot fail-closed and hence provide insufficient protection will result from shorter certificate lifetimes. 

Moreover, the impact of unexpected Certificate Transparency Log disqualifications will be lessened with shorter-lived certificates.

In addition, Google intended to shorten domain validation reuse periods to 90 days.

 “More timely domain validation will better protect domain owners while reducing the potential for a CA to mistakenly rely on stale, outdated, or otherwise invalid information resulting in certificate mis-issuance and potential abuse,” Google.

Automation is Essential for Reducing Risk

It will be extremely challenging to manually manage the renewal and deployment of each server certificate more than four times each year, necessitating more than four times the effort that IT security personnel already have to do for an already challenging task.

Given that most businesses do not have a small number of certificates, this is a significant increase. It involves hundreds or thousands of certificates rather than a few dozen that must be handled four times annually.

Automation becomes even more important in this situation, especially as the duration of domain validation reuse and the lifespan of TLS/SSL certificates are decreasing.

Hence, IT managers should explore certificate automation options, such as CA agnostic Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms. These solutions can aid in automatically provisioning and installing renewal and replacement certificates and detecting certificates in enterprise environments regardless of the Certificate Authority issuing them.

Ultimately, businesses need a way to scale up the automation of digital certificate lifecycles. Automation is essential for risk reduction.

Superb camera performance in a beautiful package

OPPO is back with a new flagship smartphone, the OPPO Find X6 Pro. The OPPO Find X5 Pro was, and still is an excellent phone, and I was quite excited to take a look at the Find X6 Pro. When I took it out of the box I was impressed, straight away. But we’ll talk about that soon, as this phone has a lot to offer, and I’m not talking only about its design. Unfortunately, though, the phone doesn’t seem to be coming to global markets. At least at the time of writing this review, OPPO doesn’t have such plans.

That is a bit disappointing, as I thought the China-based software on this phone was just a placeholder until the global model is released. I hope OPPO will change its mind, as this phone is excellent in so many ways, and it deserves to be seen by consumers outside of China. Having said that, let’s dive in, as there’s plenty to talk about. Not only is the phone meticulously designed, but this is OPPO’s first smartphone with a 1-inch camera sensor, and its specs are… top-of-the-line.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Hardware / Design

The OPPO Find X6 Pro is made out of metal and glass. The phone has Gorilla Glass 5 on the back, and it looks stunning. Some people may not be fans of huge camera islands, but that’s the reality of today’s smartphones, basically. So I’m glad to see the one on this phone look the way it does. I’ve received the Black variant of the phone, and it has a two-tone camera island. OPPO combined black with dark gray here, and I dig this design. It did the best it could considering it had to incorporate rather large sensors here. Well, especially the main one.

The build quality is top notch

AH OPPO Find X6 Pro image 3002

The phone is very slippery, at least this glass model that I’ve received. There is also a vegan leather variant (vegan leather + glass on the back) which is surely less slippery. It may be slippery, but the design is seamless all around. The phone feels really nice to hold, and there are no sharp portions on the side, everything is very smooth. The screen curves into the frame nicely, and the same goes for the backplate. Yes, the device has a curved display, and there’s also a display camera hole included. The bezels are very thin, though.

The camera island is large, but it fits well here

The camera island does protrude quite a bit on the back, which is to be expected. I did realize it’s a nice anchor for my index finger when I hold the phone, though. The power/lock key sits on the right-hand side, while the volume up and down buttons are on the left (and separated). A Type-C port is included at the bottom. There is no audio jack on this phone, but an IR blaster is included.

Don’t be fooled, this phone is huge

The OPPO Find X6 Pro is quite large, which is not surprising considering it has a huge 6.82-inch display. It is not too wide, though, it’s narrower than the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It weighs 216 or 218 grams, depending on the variant. The variant I’ve used weighs 216 grams, and it is hefty, but nowhere near the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

So, what’s the gist? The phone does feel premium in the hand, and it’s nice to hold, but it’s very slippery. It’s also quite large, so keep that in mind. If you’ve used newer Android flagships that are made out of metal and glass, you’ll get a similar feeling here.

A rather nice case is included

OPPO does include a case in the box, and no, it’s not one of those basic silicone cases. This is a plastic case that looks like it’s made out of leather, and has a rubbery feel to it. It’s extremely thin, and it definitely feels like a more quality offering than your regular silicone case. I like this very much, and it reminds me of the case that arrived with the HONOR Magic Vs. Anyhow, it’s nice to see a case included, especially such a nice case.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Display

AH OPPO Find X6 Pro KL ColorOS image 52

I’ve already mentioned that the OPPO has a huge 6.82-inch display, what I didn’t say is that this is the brightest display on the market. This panel goes all the way up to 2,500 nits at its peak, beating out the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max comfortably. Those two phones can reach 2,000 nits max, while the Xiaomi 13 Pro follows with 1,900 nits. That’s not all, though, of course. The display has a resolution of 3168 x 1440, and a PPI of 510. The screen-to-body ratio is extremely high, at 93.5%, and the panel does support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. This is an LTPO panel that supports an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and has a 240Hz touch sampling rate. It also supports 720Hz/1,440Hz PWM dimming. As if that’s not enough, it’s protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

This is probably the best-specced display in the market

This is probably the best-specced display on the market at the moment. And yes, it’s fantastic. It is color-accurate, though you can mess further with that via the settings, if you have different preferences. It’s very responsive to the touch, and the curves on the sides are not too extreme. It gets extremely bright outdoors, while it’s very sharp too. The viewing angles are excellent, and the blacks are deep. I literally don’t have a single complaint when it comes to this display. It’s well-optimized, fluid, and has outstanding image quality. OPPO nailed it.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Performance

The company didn’t exactly skimp out on the performance-related hardware either. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 fuels the phone. That is Qualcomm’s most powerful SoC at the moment, and one of the best in the market, if not the best one. On top of that, you’ll find up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM on the inside, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 flash storage. So, the latest RAM and storage modules were used as well. Does that translate to great performance, though? Well, yes, it does. It’s a real struggle getting this behemoth to slow down, even when games are concerned. Regular tasks are a breeze, and performance is really not something you should worry about here. It’s basically on par with the Xiaomi 13 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, its SoC siblings. I had a great experience with it from the performance standpoint, in terms of sheer smoothness. Not even Genshin Impact could slow it down, it powered through it.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Battery

You’ll find a 5,000mAh battery inside the OPPO Find X6 Pro. The OPPO Battery Health Engine is also a part of the offering, as the company claims that the battery will keep 80% of its capacity after 1,600 charge cycles over 4 years. If you take into account that the phone supports 100W SuperVOOC fast wired charging, and 50W AirVOOC fast wireless charging, that is excellent. There are also a number of security chips in place, and everything you’d expect. It is also worth noting that a 100W charger is included in the package, so, there you go. Also, the phone supports 10W reverse wireless charging. So, how fast is its charging? Well, you can get a full charge via wired charging in only 30 minutes, while you’ll get there in 51 minutes wirelessly, according to OPPO. My experience has been rather similar, though I only tested wired charging.

The battery life is excellent

All in all, this sounds like a great package, right? Even if the battery life is not the best, with such fast charging, not many people would have issues. You’ll be glad to know, however, that the battery life has been excellent during my usage. Considering this software is made for the Chinese market, I had to sideload Google services, so that I could use it properly outside of China. That was a simple process of installing the Google Play Store, really. That being said, I was able to get over 7 hours of screen-on-time regularly, The phone still had plenty of juice to go at that point, most of the time. Usually, that was around 25-30%. It could comfortably go over the 8-hour screen-on-time mark, which I also did. There’s really nothing to worry about in terms of battery life. This phone just keeps on going.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Camera

AH OPPO Find X6 Pro KL Hasselblad image 5

Many flagship smartphones these days have a heavy focus on the camera. Well, things are not that different with the OPPO Find X6 Pro. This phone has phenomenal camera hardware. OPPO included three cameras on the back. This setup is led by a 50-megapixel main camera (Sony’s IMX989 1-inch sensor, OIS, 1.6um pixel size, f/1.8 aperture, 23mm lens, all pixel omni-direction PDAF, 2x with in-sensor Zoom Technology). That camera is backed by a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit (Sony’s IMX890 sensor, OIS, 1.0um pixel size, f/2.2 aperture, 15mm focal length, all pixel omni-direction PDAF, minimum focus distance of 4cm, macro mode). The third, and last camera is a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto unit (Sony’s IMX890 sensor, 1um pixel size, f/2.6 aperture, 65mm focal length, all pixel omni-direction PDAF, 3x optical zoom, up to 120x digital zoom).

The OPPO Find X6 Pro’s outstanding camera hardware provides great pictures

That’s a lot of promising hardware right there, perhaps even the best combo out of all smartphones on the market at the moment. On top of that, OPPO also included the MariSilicon X NPU here, which is its imaging chip. You’ll also notice the Hasselblad branding on the back. OPPO collaborated with Hasselblad who tuned the cameras and color output. Is it any good, though? The output is great, though it has a specific style. If you’ve used cameras on OPPO phones before, you’ll know what we’re talking about. The images tend to emphasize colors in a specific way, and many images that you take in low light will have that dramatic look. The phone purposely tends to darken dark spots in lower light for that dramatic look. The details from all three cameras are great, as OPPO really did use excellent sensors and lenses here, plus rather capable software.

You’ll find a 1-inch main camera sensor here

AH OPPO Find X6 Pro KL Hasselblad image 40

The main camera has that natural-looking bokeh thanks to the sensor size. It’ll take you a bit of time to get used to that large sensor, though. The camera goes for the cameras from OPPO’s competitors who used the same sensor. The colors look outstanding, actually, especially during nighttime. I loved taking low light pictures with this phone. The ultrawide and telephoto cameras do a great job of keeping the same color balance with the main camera, I actually enjoyed using both of those cameras on this phone. Zoomed-in shots do look really good, even if the lighting is not great they’ll retain plenty of detail thanks to great hardware. Samsung arguably still has a better periscope camera in good lighting, but in low light, well… OPPO tends to provide better shots when it comes to zoomed in situations, at least when it comes to up to 3x-10x images. That was, at least, my experience with the camera.

It almost never misses, but HDR does need a bit of tunning

The phone also does a great job in demanding HDR situations, though some additional tuning is needed. Some spots do tend up to be brighter than they should, though such situations were very rare for me. Usually, the phone nailed the shot. It’s a completely different offering than the Vivo X90 Pro in terms of image output, but it’s great in its own way. It’s actually closer to what the Xiaomi 13 Pro offers, I’d say. The video recording is also good, there are no glaring issues with it, other than some warping in low light, but that’s something we see on more or less every camera.

The OPPO Find X6 Pro camera performance is superb

The bottom line is, the OPPO Find X6 Pro has one of the best camera setups on any phone, and it provides outstanding results. It has its own shooting style, and you can even flip the switch and use the ‘AI’ option if you’d like to get a bit more saturation in the images. At least that’s the difference that I’ve noticed in some shots. Having said that, this phone is easy to recommend if you’re looking for a camera powerhouse. I’ve included various samples below, some have been taken with AI off, and some with it on. Depending on situation, both look great, actually.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Software

Unfortunately, at the moment, the OPPO Find X6 Pro is planned for the Chinese market only. OPPO did send us a review unit, but it came with ColorOS made for the Chinese market. It’s not the same experience as the global version, that’s for sure. For one, we had to sideload Google Play Store on the phone, and the pre-installed apps are different in comparison to the global version. Some options within the UI are also different. Once you do install Google Play Services, which is not that difficult at all, it’s as simple as sideloading an APK, things are quite good. The most annoying aspect I’ve spotted is an occasional pop-up system notification in Chinese (usually from the app store), and the fact that you can have a limited number of apps running reliably in the background. The variant of ColorOS for China has a different battery menu than the global one. You have to select apps you want to be able to auto start, and keep running in the background. You may have issues with notifications if you don’t.

The phone comes with software made for China, but…

Other than that, I did enjoy the experience. It’s worth noting that I’ve been using the OPPO Find N2 with the software for the Chinese market for months now. It really didn’t bother me all that much, but it may bother some of you. Still, everything works really well. ColorOS has been fluid, and it has improved a lot over the year. It actually looks good now, very similar to OnePlus’ OxygenOS. You do have a ton of additional options here, which include customization options. Various gestures are also included, and so on. If you’ve used a recent build of OxygenOS or ColorOS on a global OnePlus or OPPO smartphone, you’ll be right at home here. It would sure be nice if OPPO decides to launch a global model with global software on it, though.

OPPO Find X6 Pro Review: Should you buy it?

The OPPO Find X6 Pro would be truly easy to recommend if it came with global software. This way, it all depends on if you’re willing to put up with some limitations I’ve mentioned, and sideload Google Play Services. As far as Europe goes, 5G should work without issue, at least it did for me. Your mileage may vary in different regions. If we put the software side of things to the side, this is a truly fantastic smartphone. I cannot emphasize enough how outstanding the cameras are on this phone. This may be the most powerful camera hardware overall, and OPPO in collaboration with Hasselblad did an amazing job when it comes to optimization. The display is in a category of its own, it’s excellent in every way, and the brightest out of any phone. The battery life is also excellent, while you can choose if you prefer wired or wireless charging, both options will charge up the device really fast. I could go on for a long time about the positives of the device. As I said, if you don’t mind importing the device, and are willing to put up with some software shenanigans, this is a truly outstanding device. It simply screams “premium”, in every way.

You should buy the OPPO Find X6 Pro if:

  • You want outstanding wide, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto cameras
  • You spend a lot of time outside in the sun
  • You need extremely fast wired & wireless charging
  • You hate companies who don’t include charging adapters in the box
  • You appreciate well-executed design
  • You need great battery life on a phone

You shouldn’t buy the OPPO Find X6 Pro if:

  • You don’t want to put up with software for the Chinese market
  • You are unwilling to import the device

Beats Studio Buds Plus will launch packing amazing audio technology

0
[ad_1]

The audio industry is preparing to welcome a new product, the Beats Studio Buds Plus. This pair of headphones will launch in the coming weeks, bringing better active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode. As you might already know, this product will be available for both Android and iOS.

The actual specifications of this product are still unknown, but sources have begun digging into available information. This reveals the design that the coming pair of earbuds will take, as well as some improvements. There is a need to take all available information about this pair of earbuds with a pinch of salt.

Beats are yet to confirm these specifications, but some sources have uncovered a bit of what the public can expect. Although the sources are reputable, certain details they provide might change once the actual product is launched. This article delves into the available details about the Beats Studio Buds Plus earbuds.

The coming Beats Studio Buds Plus will compete with other budget earbuds

Beats have a ton of wireless headphone series, like the Fits, Flex, Powerbeats, and Solo and Studio (buds). Products from all these series retail at different prices, with the most expensive option being the Studio Wireless headphones. The current Beats Studio Buds retail for less than half of the Studio Wireless headphones.

This, along with the audio features and specifications they pack, makes them a solid option for lots of buyers. Users from both the Android and iOS communities find the Beats Studio Buds earbuds pretty useful. These individuals will also find the Beats Studio Buds’ coming successor to also be useful.

According to the available reports regarding this coming successor, they will pack some improvements. They will come with better active noise cancellation (ANC) which will help users to disconnect from their surroundings whenever they need to. Also, if users need to have the earbuds on and still connect with their environment, then the improved transparency mode will help them.

In terms of their design, the Beats Studio Buds Plus will look just like the Studio Buds launched two years ago. There are not many changes concerning the looks but sources show off a new black and gold color option. The coming earbuds will also support Spatial audio and easily fit into the ear without wobbling.

Being the upgraded variant, they might also step up on battery life. For its pricing, this coming pair of earbuds might retail under $200 just like their predecessor. More information on the Beats Studio Buds Plus will be made available in the weeks leading up to their launch.

Check out this unreleased OnePlus 11 color variant

0
[ad_1]

The OnePlus 11 launched globally earlier this year, and it arrived in two color options, Eternal Green and Titan Black variant. Well, a tipster has just shared an unreleased OnePlus 11 color variant for us to check out.

Take a peek at the unreleased OnePlus 11 color variant

The images you can see in the gallery below come from SnoopyTech. This phone is beige-colored, with a matching frame, it seems. The glass on its back has an interesting pattern, as if it’s wood or something like that.

We don’t know what was this variant supposed to be called, but another tipster claims it was made for the Chinese market. It never launched there either, though that doesn’t mean it won’t appear in the future.

The design of the phone is, of course, unchanged, only the paint job is different. Considering OnePlus launched only two color options, it would be nice to see at least one more on offer. This one would be a nice contrast to the black and green ones.

We’ve talked about the OnePlus 11 at length on the site, and even reviewed the device up to this point. It turns out that the OnePlus 11 is a great offering from the company, and a major improvement compared to the OnePlus 10 Pro.

OnePlus opted to ditch the ‘Pro’ moniker this time around, even though this is technically a ‘Pro’ phone. It also comes with a rather compelling price tag, at least in some markets.

The OnePlus 11 comes with a truly powerful spec sheet

The phone is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, while it packs in up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It also offers up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 flash storage. A 5,000mAh battery is also a part of the package, along with 100W (80W in the US) wired charging. Wireless charging is not a part of the package this time around.

A 50-megapixel main camera is backed by a 48-megapixel ultrawide unit, and a 32-megapixel telephoto camera. Hasselblad actually co-developed this camera system with OnePlus, and tuned the cameras.

Android 13 comes out of the box here, with OxygenOS 13, globally. If you’d like to know more about the device’s specs, click here.

Donald Trump can now return to YouTube

0
[ad_1]

Former president Donald Trump can now resume uploading on YouTube as the platform removed the ban on him. YouTube is the latest major online platform after Twitter and Meta that’s allowing Trump to reinstate his account.

Donald Trump has recently announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. His accounts on social media were blocked after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol that was said to be done by Trump supporters. At the time, platforms like Twitter and YouTube said Trump had used this environment to encourage an attack on the Capitol.

As a result, some of the Trump videos on YouTube were removed, but his account remained in place. Twitter and Meta, however, closed all Trump accounts, and he was blocked from any activity on these platforms.

YouTube resumes Donald Trump account ahead of the 2024 election

The Google-owned video-sharing platform says the restriction was removed after they “evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, while balancing the chance for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election.” Of course, Trump’s channel remains subject to YouTube policies.

Elon Musk ended the Donald Trump Twitter ban right after he took over the company. Likewise, Facebook and Instagram reinstated the former president’s accounts. Trump hasn’t yet reacted to his YouTube ban removal, and no new video has been uploaded to his account.

The former president hasn’t used his Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts since they were reinstated. He prefers to use his platform, Truth Social. Trump calls Truth Social America’s “Big Tent” that encourages free speech without discriminating against political ideology. Of course, Trump is more likely to return to major social media platforms ahead of the 2024 election because he presumably doesn’t want to lose touch with his fans.

The Big Tech CEOs were recently subpoenaed by the US House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan over censorship claims. Republicans and conservatives believe major social platforms favor left-wing content and deliberately limit right-wing activists.

After Elon Musk’s Twitter files disclosure, this hypothesis was strengthened, and it was found that former Twitter executives restricted the Republicans’ accounts. Of course, Meta reportedly exempted conservatives from some of its content moderation policies over the fear of backlash.

Russia Forcing Officials To Stop Using Apple iPhones

[ad_1]

iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 in hand

Russia has reportedly ordered its government officials to abandon the use of Apple iPhones by April 1, citing concerns that the devices are vulnerable to western intelligence agencies.

According to a new report by Reuters, Kremlin has informed officials involved in preparations for Russia’s 2024 presidential election that they need to switch to other devices with different operating systems. Russian officials fear that western intelligence agencies have snooping technology on iPhones. The policy was disclosed to officials during a Kremlin-organized seminar for officials, according to the report.

Kommersant, the local newspaper, reported that one of the participants during the meeting said, “it’s all over for the iPhone: either throw it away or give it to the children.” Officials have reportedly been asked to dump their iPhones this month only.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reportedly said during the meeting that “smartphones should not be used for official business. Any smartphone has a fairly transparent mechanism, no matter what operating system it has – Android or iOS. Naturally, they are not used for official purposes.” He, however, refuses to confirm the report. 

Apple already ceased its online retail and services presence in Russia following its invasion of Ukraine last year. The company has not yet commented on the issue yet.

OPPO Find X6 series will get 4 major Android updates

0
[ad_1]

The OPPO Find X6 and Find X6 Pro launched yesterday during OPPO’s press event. We’ve covered both phones on the site, and are here to talk more about the support OPPO is providing. The company has announced that the OPPO Find X6 series will get 4 major Android updates, and 5 years’ worth of security updates.

The OPPO Find X6 series will get 4 major Android updates

It seems like OPPO is matching what OnePlus put on the table with the OnePlus 11. That is, of course, nice to see, as it means a longer lifespan for the devices. These are flagship phones after all, which is another reason such support should be provided.

This way, both OnePlus and OPPO are basically moving up to Samsung’s and Google’s level when it comes to updates. Now, do note that the Find X6 series launched in China only, so this applies to the Chinese market.

There is still a chance that OPPO will decide to move the devices to global markets. If that happens, the same support will be provided to global users. OPPO did not have plans to do that when we talked to them a while back, so… we’ll have to wait and see.

It remains to be seen if we’ll see these devices launch outside of China

It’s possible OPPO is relying on the OnePlus 11 as a phone to carry the brand outside of China, even though these are technically different companies. Both OPPO and OnePlus are owned by BBK Electronics, and they have very similar software offerings with different names. OxygenOS and ColorOS software teams joined forces a while back.

Having said that, both the OPPO Find X6 and Find X6 Pro are compelling devices, but the ‘Pro’ model does stand out. It includes three immensely capable cameras on the back, led by a 1-inch main camera sensor. Hasselblad’s expertise is also a part of the package.

The phone is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, while it also includes up to 16GB of RAM. 100W charging is supported, and the charger is included. The phone also offers support for 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.

It can automatically carry out maintenance, push updates, and receive feedback from firefighters securely. Its data isolation and encryption tech ensures protection at every level. “The Knox MDM (Mobile Device Management) system is a real revolution that allows us to control all our terminals,” said Jérôme Pauchard, Founding Director of Batisafe.
