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

[Ian McMillan]

Dimitris,

One thing that is a bit out of sorts here is the in the first line of the “Purpose of the Ballot” stating this ballot is to clarify language regarding the Timestamp Authority Private Key Protection. I know this ballot is not doing that and the following line that outlines the goals clarifies this ballot is for importing the EV guidelines into the CSBRs so I don’t feel this is an issue.

On the behalf of Microsoft, I vote “YES” to ballot CSC-25.

Cheers,
Ian

Voting begins for this ballot.
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.
