[cabfpub] Proposal to add DSA 2048

[Ryan Hurst]

The performance properties of DSA are great relative to RSA for servers but
major clients (as far as I know) do not support DSA keys larger than 1024, I
know this is the case for anything that relies on CryptoAPI in Windows. Out
of curiosity are there major browsers that can work with such keys or are
your scenarios limited to custom applications?

Subject: [cabfpub] Proposal to add DSA 2048

 

Symantec has begun offering SSL certificates with DSA 2048-bit keys. Since
DSA is not mentioned in the Baseline Requirements or EV Guidelines, I'd like
to explicitly add DSA 2048 in BR Appendix A as the minimum DSA key size.

 

If there are no objections, I'll draft a ballot and seek endorsers.
