While there is currently a prohibition on the use of CA Private Keys to directly sign OCSP responses using SHA-1, Private Keys corresponding to OCSP delegated responders may still be used to sign OCSP responses using SHA-1. This ballot establishes a sunset date to prohibit delegated OCSP signing with the SHA-1 hash algorithm.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'>The following motion has been proposed by Corey Bonnell of DigiCert and endorsed by Ben Wilson of Mozilla and Bruce Morton of Entrust.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h1><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'>Motion Begins<o:p></o:p></span></h1><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'>This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates” (“Baseline Requirements”), based on Version 1.8.0:<br>MODIFY the Baseline Requirements as specified in the following Redline:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'></span><a href="https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/cda0f92ee70121fd5d692685b97ebb6669c74fb7...637c6959c35bbd93cc451f7b22dfb48ac4255b9f"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'>https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/cda0f92ee70121fd5d692685b97ebb6669c74fb7...637c6959c35bbd93cc451f7b22dfb48ac4255b9f</span><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'></span></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'><o:p></o:p></span></p><h1><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'>Motion Ends<o:p></o:p></span></h1><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk92104730'>This ballot proposes a Final Maintenance Guideline.
