<div>Rick Andrews made the following motion, and Adam Langley
from Google and Erwann Abalea from Keynectis endorsed it: </div>
<div>... 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 moz-do-not-send="true"

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

<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. Unless the motion is withdrawn during the review period,
the voting period will start immediately thereafter and will
close at
21:00 UTC on 3 May 2013. Votes must be cast by posting an
on-list reply to this thread. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>... Motion ends ... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes'
in the response. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response.
A vote to abstain must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the
response. Unclear responses will not be counted. The latest
vote received from any representative of a voting member
before the close of
the voting period will be counted. </div>
<div>Voting members are listed here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div> </div>
<div>In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more
of the votes cast by members in the CA category and one half
or more of the votes cast by members in the browser category
must be in favor. Also, at least six members must participate
in the ballot,
either by voting in favor, voting against or abstaining. </div>
