[Cscwg-public] Code Signing Baseline Requirements references to the EV Guidelines

[Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA)]

Dear Members,

Following up on the work of importing the references to the EV 
Guidelines and specifically the latest version (1.8.0) with the 
exception of the CA/B Forum organization identifier extension as agreed 
in previous meetings, the resulting redline (based on CSBR version 
3.4.0) is available in the following link:

  * https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/compare/main...importEVG

We can easily rebase to version 3.5.0 which is the latest CSBR version, 
but the focus should be more on the import of the existing EV references.

The redline contains several formatting improvements as well, like 
removal of double spaces and tabs that break the conversion.

Here are my notes from the conversion:


- CSBR section 3.2.2.2 points to EV Guidelines
   - Section 10.1.2 for specific roles (done)
   - Section 11.2 for Legal Existence and Identity (done)
   - Section 11.3 for Assumed Name (done)
   - Section 11.4 for Physical Existence (done)
   - Section 11.5 for Method of Communication (done)
   - Section 11.6 for Operational Existence (done)
   - Section 11.8 for Name, Title and Authority of Contract Signer and 
Certificate Approver (done)
   - Section 11.9 for Signature on Subscriber Agreement and EV CS 
Certificate Requests (done)
   - Section 11.10 for Approval of EV CS Certificate Request (done)
   - Section 11.11 for Certain Information Sources (done)
   - Section 11.12.3 for Parent/Subsidiary/Affiliate Relationship (done)
- CSBR section 4.1.1 points to EV Guidelines section 11.12.2 for 
"suspicious" certificate requests (done new section 3.2.8)
- CSBR section 4.2.1 points to EV Guidelines
    - section 11.13 for the "due diligence" verification (done new 
section 3.2.9)
    - section 11.14 for the usage periods of documents, data and 
previous validations performed per section 3.2. (done with new section 
4.2.1.1)
- CSBR section 5.2.4 points to EV Guidelines section 11.13 for the Final 
Cross-Correlation and Due Diligence steps (done by pointing to the new 
section 3.2.9)
- CSBR section 5.3.3 points to EV Guidelines in general for the 
Validation Specialist training and internal examination (done)
- CSBR section 7.1.4.2.4 points to EV Guidelines sections 9.2.1 (done), 
9.2.3 (done), 9.2.4 (done, section 11.1.3 disclosure of verification 
sources migrated to 3.2.10), 9.2.5 (done), 9.2.6 (done), 9.2.8 (done 
updated reference to 9.2.4 to 7.1.4.2.4 (c)) for subject information
- CSBR section 9.2.1 points to EV Guidelines section 8.4 for insurance 
coverage (done)


9.8.2 --> Do not import
11.11.1 --> 3.2.2.2.10.1
11.11.4 --> 3.2.2.2.12
11.13 --> 3.2.9
14.1.1, 14.1.2 --> 5.3 (Training and background checks)
14.1.3 --> 5.2.4 (separation of duties)
14.2 --> 1.3.2.1 (new section)

We still need to do a thorough check for the import of the proper 
definitions and acronyms and remove the ones that are not use in the 
CSBRs with the first letter capitalized.

I have not completed a full mapping of the import of the EVGs into the 
CSBRs but that's my next target. Please note that some destination 
sections are different from what Inigo has decided for the conversion of 
the EVGs into the RFC 3647 format 
<https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/90a98dc7c1131eaab01af411968aa7330d315b9b...238ff99fbe04f2aa24f2c58910d8133f2283f11e>. 
We can compare notes with Inigo after we get some initial feedback by 
Members.


Best regards,
Dimitris.
