[cabfpub] Ballot[83] - Adopt Network and Certificate System Security Requirements

Fri Aug 3 11:30:37 UTC 2012

Hi All,

Unfortunately Digidentity has to vote NO at this point for the same reason as PKIoverheid. Because one of the roots of Digidentity is linked to the Governmental root in The Netherlands.

Hi All,

Logius PKIoverheid votes NO.

Of course Logius PKIoverheid agrees with the spirit of this ballot. Many thanks to all who worked on this! However:
1.    Recently some CAs made some additional remarks on the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements. Apparently more work has to be done to satisfy their needs;
2.    More important for Logius PKIoverheid is that the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements first should be published as a guidance (recommended) not as a guideline (mandatory). To publish the Requirements as a guidance should be possible on 1 January 2013 (or sooner). The Requirements should become mandatory when they are adopted in WebTrust and ETSI. Because if CAs can’t be audited against the Requirements then parties can’t rely on it. If it can’t be audited, it’s more or less a hollow commitment.

P.S. I was under the assumption that the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements also would be published at the mozilla.dev.security.policy group for comments? Apparently I missed something, my bad.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
