This was intentional as we do not want subscriber keys to be exported from the HSM. We discussed this in one of our meetings. Only one CA had pushback, but after checking agreed with the direction.


Thanks, Bruce.

Good Day everyone, Reading the modified changes for Code Signing Baseline Requirements at: https: //github. com/cabforum/code-signing/compare/93ee9976cdc4e1104952146e3556800459694874. . 701d195fa95fe49e8a02435fc40fb0a018686866 . Line number 1380

Good Day everyone,

Reading the modified changes for Code Signing Baseline Requirements at:https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/compare/93ee9976cdc4e1104952146e3556800459694874..701d195fa95fe49e8a02435fc40fb0a018686866<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/cabforum/code-signing/compare/93ee9976cdc4e1104952146e3556800459694874..701d195fa95fe49e8a02435fc40fb0a018686866__;!!FJ-Y8qCqXTj2!ai_SiHTiSodTE_VWwZi8Z8QT_M2lCkP6nJYlFupqIB2vMo07Rcbx2E0bKw4GyZ1-pOj0h-PvD9Z5okpQ_IY$> . Line number 1380 now mentions FIPS 140-2 Level 3. Is it an intentional change or typo from the earlier requirement for using FIPS 140-2 Level 2 for Subscriber Private Key associated with Code Signing Certificates?

Thank you,

Regards,
Faisal Razzak
