January 2025: Security certificate management improvements for evitaDB, delivering automated certificate chain loading enhancements and a dynamic reload capability to support safer certificate rotation with minimal downtime. These changes boost reliability of server-side TLS validation and enable near real-time security updates, aligning with operational resilience and security objectives.

December 2024: Security hardening and certificate lifecycle improvements in FgForrest/evitaDB. Delivered Mutual TLS (mTLS) for gRPC with dynamic certificate loading/reloading, implemented security scope isolation for the gRPC finalization path, and extended hardening checks to HTTP services. This work lays the groundwork for robust authentication, broader certificate-type support, and easier certificate rotation. Also performed targeted mTLS fixes and refactors to improve safety and maintainability (including removal of warning suppressions).

November 2024 monthly summary for FgForrest/evitaDB: Security hardening and access control improvements focusing on gRPC endpoints with mutual TLS (mTLS). Implemented a prototype of mTLS scope isolation for gRPC services, added dedicated certificate-related exception classes, and integrated mTLS checks into HTTP service decorators to enforce access policies.
