[Cscwg-public] Ballot CSC-25: Import EV Guidelines into the Code Signing Baseline Requirements

[Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA)]

  CSC-25 Import EV Guidelines into the Code Signing Baseline Requirements


    *Purpose of the Ballot*

This ballot updates the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and 
Management of Publicly‐Trusted Code Signing Certificates“ version 3.7 in 
order to clarify language regarding Timestamp Authority Private Key 
Protection. The main goals of this ballot are to:

 1. Import all CSBR references that point to the EV Guidelines with the
    actual language of corresponding sections of version 1.8.0 of the EV
    Guidelines, in order to remove external dependencies.
 2. The Code Signing Working Group decided not to import rules related
    to the subject:organizationIdentifier field.

The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of 
HARICA and endorsed by Martijn Katerbarg of Sectigo and Corey Bonnell of 
Digicert.
