Ballot CSC-8 v3: Update to Revocation response mechanisms. key protection for EV certificates, and clean-up of 11.2.1 & Appendix B



Purpose of this ballot:



Address the changes needed in the Baseline Requirement for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Code Signing Certificates v2.2 for:



  1.  Making OCSP optional with CRLs being required (13.2.1, 13.2.2, Appendix B: 3C, 5C)
  2.  Added Common Criteria EAL 4+ to the supported key protection crypto modules for EV certificates in light of support for RSA 3072 keys (16.3.2)
  3.  Clean up of Appendix B[3C] & [5C] (AIA value requirements) and section 11.2.1 contradiction with RFC3161



In Appendix B, it was noted that the requirements for the Timestamping (5C) and Code Signing (3C) certificates had AIA value requirements to include the root certificate URL, but that should be the issuing CA URL. This has been included in this ballot.



Corey Bonnell noted a contradiction in the section 11.2.1 regarding Timestamp in the clause “and appends it own Timestamp Certificate” is an unconditional requirement for a timestamp response to include the TSA certificate chain, but this conflicts with RFC3161 making this clause a conditional requirement based on the certReq field (missing or set to false). This clean up has the clause removed from section 11.2.1.



The following motion has been proposed by Ian McMillan of Microsoft, and endorsed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and Bruce Morton of EnTrust.
