<p class="MsoNormal">The Code Signing Working Group of the CA/Browser Forum has completed its work on Version 1 of the Code Signing Baseline Requirements. The Working Group has been meeting over the last 2+ years to develop and bring this topic to the Forum
for approval. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This Working Group was chartered by the Forum at the Mozilla face to face meeting in February 2013 and has brought together forum members and outside participants to craft a document which we believe will help improve the security of the
ecosystem. Forum members in the working group include: Comodo, Digicert, Entrust, ETSI, Federal PKI, Firmaprofessional, Globalsign, Izenpe, Microsoft, Startcom, SwissSign, Symantec, Trend Micro, WoSign as well as non-members: Cacert, Intarsys, OTA, Richter,
and Travelport. Also, there have been several public commenting periods which resulted in changes and revisions to the document.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The stated goal of the group was to: “Create a set of baseline requirements for code signing that will reduce the incidence of signed malware”. We strived to work on 3 sub goals, which are by no means 100% solved. However we feel that the
