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

[Robin Alden]

Comodo votes 'Yes'.

 

We too have reservations about some provisions of the Network and
Certificate System Security Requirements, but we feel that we should not
make the perfect the enemy of the good and that we should push ahead with
it.  

We will be proposing (and/or working with others to propose) amendments or
errata to the requirements which, we feel, will help to make them
implementable and enforceable while taking into account the necessary
transitions that some participants will necessarily experience and yet still
realize the goal of the requirements to set a minimum standard of security
that we can all subscribe to.

 

Regards

Robin Alden
