Motion Begins ... </div> <div>... Erratum Begins ... </div> <div> </div> <div>In the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates, Appendix A, add to each of the tables (1) Root CA Certificates, (2) Subordinate CA Certificates, and (3) Subscriber Certificates a new row with these three column entries (comma-separated):</div> <div>Minimum DSA modulus and divisor size (bits) ***, L= 2048, N= 224 or L= 2048, N= 256, L= 2048, N= 224 or L= 2048, N= 256 </div> <div> </div> <div>Following Table 3, change the first sentence to read (++added language++):</div> <div>* SHA-1 MAY be used ++with RSA keys++ until SHA-256 is supported widely by browsers used by a substantial portion of relying-parties worldwide. </div> <div> </div> <div>After "** A Root CA Certificate issued...", add: </div> <div>*** L and N (the bit lengths of modulus p and divisor q, respectively) are described in the Digital Signature Standard, FIPS 186-3 (<a target="_blank" href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips186-3/fips_186-3.pdf"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips186-3/fips_186-3.pdf</u></font></a>). </div> <div> </div> <div>To Section "(4) General requirements for public keys", add: </div> <div>DSA: Although FIPS 800-57 says that domain parameters may be made available at some accessible site, compliant DSA certificates MUST include all domain parameters. This is to insure maximum interoperability among relying party software. The CA MUST confirm that the value of the public key has the unique correct representation and range in the field, and that the key has the correct order in the subgroup. [Source: Section 5.3.1, NIST SP 800-89]. </div> <div> </div> <div>ECC: The CA SHOULD confirm the validity of all keys using either the ECC Full Public Key Validation Routine or the ECC Partial Public Key Validation Routine. [Source: Sections 5.6.2.5 and 5.6.2.6, respectively, NIST SP 800-56A]. </div> <div> </div> <div>... Erratum Ends ... </div> <div> </div> <div>PDF and Word versions of the proposed changes in redline are posted as attachments to the wiki page (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/99%20-%20Add%20DSA%20Keys"><font color="#0000FF"><u>https://www.cabforum.org/wiki/99%20-%20Add%20DSA%20Keys</u></font></a>) and attached to this email for easier reading.</div> <div> </div> <div>The review period for this ballot shall commence at 21:00 UTC on 19 April 2013 and will close at 21:00 UTC on 26 April 2013.
