This ballot is focused on addressing gaps in the current BRs related to overall weak key guidance (not just Debian weak key checks). The topic of removing the requirement for Debian weak key checking is separate from what I understand the intent and goal of this ballot to ever have been and should be addressed in its own ballot. <div><br><div>Is the concern from CAs that the Debian weak key requirements in this ballot are meaningfully different than what they’re doing today, and they’d like to avoid doing that work? If so, can you explain what the difference(s) is and what impact it’s expected to have for your CA? </div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't want to speak for Christophe, but the proposed requirements for checking Debian weak keys are clearly more prescriptive and will at a minimum require any diligent CA to evaluate their implementation to verify compliance. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that some CAs will need to make changes to fully comply. Given the debate about the value of this requirement, moving ahead is a suboptimal use of CA resources.</div><div><br></div><div>Suggestion: Perhaps the specifics could be removed from the Debian weak keys list item in this ballot and deferred to a future ballot that either completely removes, or adds the desired detail to the requirement?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Wayne<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div></div><div>FWIW my read of the current situation is that I don’t think there’s consensus to remove Debian weak key checks at this time, but I do think there’s at least rough consensus that it’s a topic worth discussing/pursuing.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>-Clint<br><div><br>
