[Cscwg-public] FW: Ballot CSC-2: Consolidate Baseline and EV CSCWG Document

Tue Jul 21 12:56:06 MST 2020

Apologies for a tangent, but while looking at the current language, I
noticed that it is silent on the requirement for EV code signing certs,
which could lead to confusion.

If we’re trying to keep the current behavior, for additional clarity, it
should say something like:

9.2.3. Subject Domain Component Field

This field MAY be present in EV Code Signing Certificates, but MUST NOT be
present in Non-EV Code Signing Certificates.

Hello Inaba-san,

I reviewed the document and compared it to the EV Code Signing Guidelines
and the Baseline Requirements for Code Signing.  Section 9.2.3 with the
Heading “Subject Domain Component Field” only appears in the Baseline
Requirements. Hence it only applies to Non-EV certs.  That same section
number in the EV document is titled, “Subject Business Category Field”.
Bruce has moved that to section 9.2.5 in the new document.

Making the change you suggest, although probably a good one, would be beyond
our guidance of no substantive changes for this ballot. We should consider
it though for a future document update.

Bruce-if you agree, please don’t forget to start the voting later today.

Thanks

Dean

Dear Bruce,

Sorry to ask about such minor details.

How about trying to change the description of 9.2.3 slightly?

<From>

9.2.3 Subject Domain Component Field

For Non-EV Code Signing Certificates, this field MUST not be

present in a Code Signing Certificate.

<To>

9.2.3 Subject Domain Component Field

This field MUST not be present in a Code Signing Certificate.

Best regards,

Atsushi Inaba

Subject: Ballot CSC-2: Consolidate Baseline and EV CSCWG Document

This begins the discussion period for the Ballot CSC-2: Consolidate Baseline
and EV CSCWG Document

Purpose of Ballot:

The CA/Browser Forum currently has two code signing requirements documents:
1) Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly‐
Trusted Code Signing Certificates and 2) Guidelines For The Issuance And
Management Of Extended Validation Code Signing Certificates. The two
documents are in similar format and cover many of the same requirements. CAs
which issue both types of certificates must adhere to both documents and
must be audited to two sets of criteria. CA/Browser Forum members also need
to manage two sets of criteria. Auditors need to manage two sets of audit
criteria.

The greater goal is to 1) migrate the documents into one document which will
manage the requirements of both EV and non-EV code signing certificates, 2)
reformat the document to be in the RFC 3647 format which will be in line
with CPS format requirements and 3) change and manage the requirements in an
ongoing process.

This ballot addresses item 1 of the process. The migration started with
using the Baseline Requirements for Code Signing and adding in the EV Code
Signing Requirements. The process was to minimize technical change although
there was some change to allow merging. The process was not to correct
issues, but a “parking lot” list was created to capture changes to be
addressed in the future.

The following motion has been proposed by Bruce Morton of Entrust and
endorsed by Mike Reilly of Microsoft and Dean Coclin of DigiCert.

--- MOTION BEGINS ---

This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and
Management of Publicly‐Trusted Code Signing Certificates” based on Version
1.2 and removes the requirements for “Guidelines For The Issuance And
Management Of Extended Validation Code Signing Certificates” based on
Version 1.4. A redline update is attached.

Be it resolved that the CA / Browser Forum adopts the attached CA/B Forum
Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly‐Trusted
Code Signing Certificates version 2.0 effective upon adoption.

--- MOTION ENDS ---

This ballot proposes a Final Maintenance Guideline.

The procedure for approval of this ballot is as follows:

Discussion (7+ days)

Start Time: 9 July 2020 17:00:00 UTC

End Time: 16 July 2020 17:00:00 UTC

Vote for approval (7 days)

Start Time: TBD

End Time: TBD
