Hi Jaime.  Ooh, you're right!  The affected OpenSSL versions generate the same predictable moduli regardless of the public exponent value.</div>

Judging from Censys, it appears that there are some publicly trusted certificates containing RSA keys with an exponent of 3, so there will presumably be a (minor) ecosystem impact if an exponent value of 3 were banned. That being said, exponents smaller than
 65537 are outside the SHOULD-level exponent range since BR v1.1.3 (now in section 6.1.6) so perhaps it’s time to consider strengthening the SHOULD to a MUST. Probably such a change would be outside the scope of this ballot, though.</div>

Hi Chris,</div>

Apologies for the late reply. I noticed that the current proposed language has no guidance regarding RSA exponents. I think it would be useful to specify the expectations in this regard (whether the CA must check for weak keys for all key lengths and exponent
 combinations accepted/supported by the CA, or if checking weak key lists for only exponents 3 and 65537 is sufficient, etc.).</div>

We did this work several months ago but never found the time to make it publicly available. We managed to break down the big task and run jobs in parallel which made things a bit more interesting.<br class="">

Thanks for your continued efforts to improve this part of the BRs! Let's Encrypt is in theory interested in endorsing, but I think it still needs a bit of work. Thanks for incorporating my most recent comments on endianness and word size vs 11 platforms.<br class="">
<br class="">
Goals: We want CAs to consistently not issue certificates for weak keys in general, and also in the specific case of Debian and ROCA keys. We want the definition of Debian and ROCA keys to be clear and actionable for as long as possible - say, at least twenty
 years.<br class="">
<br class="">
We have three ways to specify Debian and ROCA keys: With a list, with a tool, or with an algorithm*. The original revision of this ballot proposed to use a list (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Flists.cabforum.org-252Fpipermail-252Fservercert-2Dwg-252F2020-2DApril-252F001821.html-26data-3D04-257C01-257Crob-2540sectigo.com-257Ca8c9d97cd4114ebf508708d9930d343d-257C0e9c48946caa465d96604b6968b49fb7-257C0-257C0-257C637702508987901266-257CUnknown-257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0-253D-257C2000-26sdata-3DcpLY6xrC2ygCfIc1C4qGSWoC6YokanwBtNV3rRKfHjI-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=-bX5hBm1IdRDykQ-dBR8tsFRCM4v1VXUyG7RZa2WqPY&m=fMDCutmeJbXlHHWIZLMy2UAZB79bm_AVGAAADmUsNAE&s=Cq74OljQxYjQB9r8uG_BAHEGm1OkBbqKvS_0shafvCk&e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="">https://lists.cabforum.org/pipermail/servercert-wg/2020-April/001821.html</a>).

The ROCA tool is subject to change or removal, just like the openssl-blacklist package. I propose we instead specify ROCA detection in terms of the paper (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fcrocs.fi.muni.cz-252Fpublic-252Fpapers-252Frsa-5Fccs17-26data-3D04-257C01-257Crob-2540sectigo.com-257Ca8c9d97cd4114ebf508708d9930d343d-257C0e9c48946caa465d96604b6968b49fb7-257C0-257C0-257C637702508987911226-257CUnknown-257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0-253D-257C2000-26sdata-3DRub6MkznN76aolt0dhOYkfTjJkyVnj0fwZrsJUryXMQ-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=-bX5hBm1IdRDykQ-dBR8tsFRCM4v1VXUyG7RZa2WqPY&m=fMDCutmeJbXlHHWIZLMy2UAZB79bm_AVGAAADmUsNAE&s=8rXYwNUZwLRB24_U5FuoEbrhwd70LP_8NskJIjTZi18&e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="">https://crocs.fi.muni.cz/public/papers/rsa_ccs17</a>)

For Debian keys, what looks like an algorithm specification is actually a tool + algorithm specification. The tool is "OpenSSL 0.9.8c-1 up to versions before 0.9.8g-9 on Debian-based operating systems" (per CVE-2008-01666 -<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fcve.mitre.org-252Fcgi-2Dbin-252Fcvename.cgi-253Fname-253D2008-2D0166-26data-3D04-257C01-257Crob-2540sectigo.com-257Ca8c9d97cd4114ebf508708d9930d343d-257C0e9c48946caa465d96604b6968b49fb7-257C0-257C0-257C637702508987911226-257CUnknown-257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0-253D-257C2000-26sdata-3DXpkzHob7aGcgQ5LgbuS5c2jqlj2c9gyXDGCcS3ie4jo-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=-bX5hBm1IdRDykQ-dBR8tsFRCM4v1VXUyG7RZa2WqPY&m=fMDCutmeJbXlHHWIZLMy2UAZB79bm_AVGAAADmUsNAE&s=MWo4PqNeswUa6-fuEMNNaSd02TDitpgXqPy1wmZvnHM&e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="">https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2008-0166</a>).
 To ensure an unchanging copy of that, we should archive 3 copies of Debian, for the 3 word size + endianness combinations.<br class="">

 Other tools that linked OpenSSL, like openvpn and openssh, generated different sets of keys. We can include or exclude openvpn and openssh keys, but should thoroughly specify.<br class="">
<br class="">
Lastly, I think we should archive openssl-blacklist, and include in the BRs: "A CA may reject the full set of Debian weak keys by rejecting this superset of the Debian weak keys:<br class="">
<br class="">
 - All RSA public keys with modulus lengths other than 2048 or 4096, and<br class="">
 - All RSA public keys with exponents other than 65537, and<br class="">
 - All RSA public keys that are detected as vulnerable by the openssl-vulnkey program in the openssl-blacklist package version 0.5-3 (see addendum), or an equivalent program."<br class="">
<br class="">
My reasoning: Given the difficulty of correctly setting up old Debian versions and generating weak keys for sizes that are not part of openssl-blacklist, I expect most CAs will choose this path. Given that, we should just say what we mean: the pregenerated
 list is fine if you restrict key sizes, but you don't *have* to restrict key sizes, so long as you have an alternate method to ensure you're not issuing for Debian weak keys at other sizes.<br class="">
<br class="">
*I'm considering specifying an algorithm to be functionally equivalent to specifying an "outcome," though I recognize this may be too hand-wavy.</div>
