- Signing Service Ballot

 

Bruce said that he received no further feedback and would like to push this
to ballot. Tim and Ian offered to review and endorse, barring any issues
found.

 

Dimitris mentioned that one of the takeaways from the F2F was that there is
ETSI guidance for remote QSCDs for activation and we should consider
incorporating. Tim H. said that we should look at these requirements and
incorporate compatible criteria in the CSBRs instead of requiring any
associated audit regime. Dimitris said that approach may have IP issues.

 

Bruce proposed that we look at that guidance after the initial ballot is
pushed out. There was agreement that the remote QSCD standards should be
looked at further by the group.

 

Bruce said he will circulate the current PR
(https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/pull/12) for this ballot for
review and call for endorsers.

 

Bruce said that the NetSec requirements document describes requirements for
CAs but is silent on Signing Services, and so we may want to consider
removing the NetSec requirement for Signing Services. Tim said that while
some things are CA-specific, there are many requirements which cover good
security practices that would be applicable to Signing Services. Tim also
agreed with Bruce that the NetSec requirements solely address CA keys, which
is not useful for Signing Services.

 

Bruce raised a concern that if we require adherence to the NetSec document
as a whole, then there is much room for interpretation as to which sections
are applicable to Signing Services. Dimitris agreed with Bruce and added
that similar challenges have occurred with RA audits.

 

Ian asked if there are any ISO standards for cloud services. Tim said that
there are not, and cloud services generally get the 2000-level security
audit. Ian said that ISO 27001-7 audits for cloud services are common.

 

- Importing TLS BR text into CSBRs

 

Dimitris created a branch on
GitHub(https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/tree/importTLSBRrefs) to
copy the TLS BR text to the CSBRs. He mentioned that there have been no
significant issues thus far besides the references to the EV Guidelines,
which will be handled in a second pass. He asked for volunteers for this
effort.

 

Next meeting is November 17th.

 

Meeting adjourned.
