<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
This ballot is now entering its seven-day discussion period.
My sincere thanks to everyone who helped shape the text into
what it is today.<br>
<br>
Changes from draft 3:<br>
<br>
* 1 hour changed to 8 hours as minimum caching time, to make
manual issuance easier.<br>
<br>
* Added text from Ryan, at Doug's suggestion, of exactly which
properties need to be supported.<br>
<br>
* Marked Jeremy and Ryan as endorsers (assuming they don't
object to the above changes).<br>
<br>
Gerv<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874"><b>Ballot 187 - Make CAA Checking Mandatory</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line862">The following motion has been proposed by
Gervase Markham of Mozilla and endorsed by Jeremy Rowley of
DigiCert and Ryan Sleevi of Google:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874"><b>Statement of Intent</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA)
is a DNS Resource Record defined in RFC 6844 -
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6844/">https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6844/</a>
, published in January 2013. It allows a DNS domain name
holder to specify one or more Certification Authorities (CAs)
authorized to issue certificates for that domain and, by
implication, that no other CAs are authorized.<br>
<br>
The intent of this motion is to make it mandatory for CAs to
check CAA records at issuance time for all certificates issued
(except in a few special cases), and to prevent issuance if a
CAA record is found which does not permit issuance by that CA.
This therefore allows domain owners to set an issuance policy
which will be respected by all publicly-trusted CAs, and
allows them to mitigate the problem that the public CA trust
system is only as strong as its weakest CA.<br>
<br>
Note that CAA is already a defined term in the BRs and so does
not need definitional text to be provided by this motion.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="line874"><b>-- MOTION BEGINS --</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Add the following text as a new section
3.2.2.8 (titled "CAA Records") of the Baseline Requirements:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This section
is effective as of 8 September 2017.<br>
<br>
As part of the issuance process, the CA must check for a CAA
record for each dNSName in the subjectAltName extension of the
certificate to be issued, according to the procedure in RFC
6844, following the processing instructions set down in RFC
6844 for any records found. If the CA issues, they must do so
within the TTL of the CAA record, or 8 hours, whichever is
greater.<br>
<br>
This stipulation does not prevent the CA from checking CAA
records at any other time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">When processing CAA records, CAs MUST
process the issue, issuewild, and iodef property tags as
specified in RFC 6844. Additional property tags MAY be
supported, but MUST NOT conflict with or supersede the
mandatory property tags set out in this document. CAs MUST
respect the critical flag and reject any unrecognized
properties with this flag set.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
RFC 6844 requires that CAs "MUST NOT issue a certificate
unless either (1) the certificate request is consistent with
the applicable CAA Resource Record set or (2) an exception
specified in the relevant Certificate Policy or Certification
Practices Statement applies." For issuances conforming to
these Baseline Requirements, CAs MUST NOT rely on any
exceptions specified in their CP or CPS unless they are one of
the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
CAA checking is optional for certificates for which a
Certificate Transparency pre-certificate was created and
logged in at least two public logs, and for which CAA was
checked.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
CAA checking is optional for certificates issued by an
Technically Constrained Subordinate CA Certificate as set
out in Baseline Requirements section 7.1.5, where the lack
of CAA checking is an explicit contractual provision in the
contract with the Applicant.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
CAA checking is optional if the domain's DNS is operated by
the CA or an Affiliate of the CA.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">CAs are permitted to treat a record lookup
failure as permission to issue if:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1
level1 lfo2">
the failure is outside the CA's infrastructure; <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1
level1 lfo2">
the lookup has been retried at least once; and <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1
level1 lfo2">
the domain's zone does not have a DNSSEC validation chain to
the ICANN root.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">CAs MUST document potential issuances that
were prevented by a CAA record in sufficient detail to provide
feedback to the CAB Forum on the circumstances, and SHOULD
dispatch reports of such issuance requests to the contact(s)
stipulated in the CAA iodef record(s), if present. CAs are not
expected to support URL schemes in the iodef record other than
mailto: or https:.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Update section 2.2 ("Publication of
Information") of the Baseline Requirements, to remove the
following text:<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre> Effective as of 15 April 2015, section 4.2 of a CA's Certificate Policy and/or Certification <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Practice Statement (section 4.1 for CAs still conforming to RFC 2527) SHALL state whether <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> the CA reviews CAA Records, and if so, the CA’s policy or practice on processing CAA Records <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> for Fully Qualified Domain Names. The CA SHALL log all actions taken, if any, consistent with <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> its processing practice. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal">and replace it with: <o:p></o:p></p>
<pre> Effective as of 8 September 2017, section 4.2 of a CA's Certificate Policy and/or Certification <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> Practice Statement (section 4.1 for CAs still conforming to RFC 2527) SHALL state the CA’s policy or <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> practice on processing CAA Records for Fully Qualified Domain Names; that policy shall be consistent<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> with these Requirements. It shall clearly specify the set of Issuer Domain Names that the CA<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> recognises in CAA "issue" or "issuewild" records as permitting it to issue. The CA SHALL log all actions <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> taken, if any, consistent with its processing practice. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
