MeSign Browser is based on Chromium open source project development (version: Chromium 66), it is mainly added to support the Chinese Cryptography Algorithm SM2/SM3/SM4 and SM2 SSL certificate, and also modified the SSL certificate user interface, using V1/V2/V3/V4 icon to identify different types of SSL certificates (DV/IV/OV/EV).
MeSign Browser complies with the China National Standard "GM/T 0024-2014: SSL VPN Technical Specification” and supports the National Cryptography Algorithm. Asymmetric algorithm: SM2 algorithm, Symmetric algorithm: SM4 algorithm, Hash algorithm: SM3 algorithm. It supports USB Key certificate two-way authentication using SKF interface.
MeSign Browser not only supports Chinese Cryptography Algorithm, but also support all international cryptography algorithms, ensuring that users can access the website that only supports the Chinese Cryptography Algorithm and also can access the website that only supports the international standard algorithm. If the website has installed two algorithms’ SSL Certificates, then MeSign Browser preferentially uses Chinese Cryptography Algorithm for https encryption.
MeSign Browser follows the rules of the certificate UI for MeSign APP (an encrypted email client), and displays the EV SSL certificate website as a padlock, a V4 icon plus the organization name, and displays a green address bar; displays the OV SSL certificate website as a padlock, a V3 icon plus the organization name, and displays a white address bar; displays the IV SSL certificate website as a padlock, a V2 icon plus the personal full name, and displays a white address bar; display the DV SSL certificate website as a padlock, a V1 icon, and display a white address bar; displays the non-SSL certificate website as "Not Secure".
MeSign Browser attaches great importance to the website identity validation and display of the real identity of the website. The identity of the website validated by CA is a credible identity, and the identity information of the website must be clearly displayed to prevent the user from being deceived. While some browsers only emphasize encryption one-sidedly and ignore the importance of website identity, many fraudulent websites have deployed non-identity DV SSL certificates in an attempt to make users think that they are safe and trustworthy.
MeSign Browser does not currently provide the Trusted Root CA Program. MeSign Browser Windows version trusts the Root CAs that included in Windows and trusts all WoTrus CA Root CAs.
Welcome to use MeSign Browser Windows version, we will release other OS version soon, thank you.
