Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
Buypass is discontinuing its TLS/SSL certificate services due to market pressures, declining revenue from free certificate alternatives, and increasing regulatory requirements. Existing certificates will remain valid until expiration, with full revocation and status services maintained throughout their validity periods. The company will focus instead on strengthening its eID, digital signing, and authentication solutions. A detailed timeline shows certificate ordering ending October 2025, with final expirations and service discontinuations occurring through October 2027.
