Russia Just Created Its Own Certificate Authority.

In this video I discuss the certificate authority that the Russian government recently setup to avoid online sanctions, and what this means for the people that might be using it.

I've always wondered how the internet would be in the Soviet Union, if it weren't dissolved. Guess we might know the answer soon

[kebien]

Just to clarify. The padlock means "We are certain that you are connected to a site that has control over that domain name, btw the connection is encrypted". It doesn't mean "you are on a secure site".

This is mentioned in the vid, I just wanted to summarize.

As a cybersecurity major, your videos help me apply what I learn to real scenarios, and I appreciate that you explain everything in a way it's easy to understand. Thank you!

At the same this is pretty damn sketchy, it is also super sketchy how access to backbone technology is all in the hands of American tech companies "we don't like your country, now your entire population should not have access to being able to do banking securely, hosting, being able to make money online or anything"

The truth comes out, he wasn't banned from posting for a week, but actually suffering from crippling Vtuber addiction. We've all been there

For those with the basic knowledge of SSL Certificates, http vs https and trust authority, Skip to 7:55 for the video in context of Russia.

"that's like remembering the phone number of every single one of your friends. that doesn't make sense"

Damn that makes me feel old, as this is exactly what we did. It was common to have memorized two dozen or more phone numbers. Friends, family, work, etc.

Dude, this was really good video. Well put together and packed with info. On a topic that I've wondered about for a long time too. Good job.

1:53 DNS servers are rarely hacked, but if they would get hacked, then the attacker could just buy a certificate for the domain, and TLS is circumvented. You only need to demonstrate that you control a certain domain to buy a certificate for it. What TLS really protects against is man in the middle attacks, when the attacker hacks your network, or you're on an insecure wifi, or your ISP/government are hacking. I used to demonstrate that with rogue wifi APs with an SSID like McDonalds or something that people's phones will automatically connect to.

[BrokeBillionare]

That was so well explained. I am glad I subscribed to this channel.

[your_new_sjw_waifu]

I've legit been wondering how sanctions would affect CAs in Russia.

[valletas]

Fun fact many goverment websites from brazil do not have a certificate

Gov websites have gotten better but most of them are still shit here in brazil

[nbarrager]

"Just send me the virus link" A few days ago, someone I didn't know messaged me and I responded with "what is it today? gift cards of crypto?"

[hojjat]

I remember hearing about this back in Iran 10 years ago. They used a Dutch certificate authority to mitm Google users.
I wish we could move on to a better system than this.

[KaiBannon]

Russia anti-censorship security V.S. social media anti-censorship bypasses.

[kryststar]

I think the major problem with this, is the fact that the user is forced to only use government specified browsers that can use the government created certificate like an absolute monopoly with absolute power over what can be seen, posted, shared, and disseminated.... Seems like a perfectly dystopian internet experience....

[Dervraka]

In the early days of the internet we really DID have to know those long numerical IP addresses. In fact there was a booklet, sort of like a telephone directory that got updated a couple times a year with valid IP addresses and what site they would take you to.

[Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

They just now thought to do that? I would have assumed this is something every country has, but then again I'm just a bigfoot so what do I know

[mrED]

Such a well put together video and that transition to Russia’s certificate was flawless. Thanks!
