Asunto: [cabfpub] EV Code Signing fixes

 

There are two issues with the EV code signing guidelines that need correction:

 

1.  Section 9.2.2 of the EV code signing guidelines recommends that CAs not include the SAN extension in an EV certificate.  However, section 9.7 requires that an EV certificate include subjectAltName:permanentIdentifier. Because the main concern is a CA including a domain names in the SAN extension, we should specify that this practice is not allowed and recognize that other information may be present. 

 

2.  Section 9.2.3 of the EV code signing guidelines deprecates the CN field.  The code signing working group received a report that this field is still required by code signing applications. We should still include the CN in code signing certificates even if the field is deprecated for SSL certificates.  

 

I am looking for endorsers for (or suggestions on) the following proposal:

 

a.       Replace section 9.2.2 with the following: 

"9.2.2    Subject Alternative Name Extension

This field MUST be present and MUST contain the permanentIdentifier specified in Section 9.7. This field MUST NOT contain a Domain Name or IP Address."

 

b.      Amend section 9.2.3 as follows:

"9.2.2    Subject Common Name Field

Certificate field: subject:commonName (OID 2.5.4.3)

Required/Optional: Required

Contents: This field MUST contain the Subject's legal name as verified under Section 11.2. "

 

Thanks!

Jeremy
