SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol for secure transmission of data over the Internet. SSL encrypts all data which is sent between the web browser and the web server, and by using digital keys you make sure that the data arrives safely to the recipient. 

The service for x509 certificates (both personal and host certificates) is temporarily closed as of 10th January 2025 due to disagreements between GEANT and Sectigo. GEANT have now made an agreement with a new vendor.

If you need an ordinary ssl host-certificate it is great if you can help us test the new Nettskjema. Do not store the link as it may change.

Otherwise, contact www-drift@usit.uio.no  if you have questions about certificates.
