Ballot 119 - Remove “OfIncorporation” from OID descriptions in EVG 9.2.5

 

Rob Stradling of Comodo made the following motion, and Ben Wilson from
DigiCert and Chema López González from AC Firmaprofesional S.A. have
endorsed it.

 

The EV Guidelines require certificates to include the jurisdiction where the
Subject has registered or incorporated. Subsection 9.2.5 of the EV
Guidelines is titled, "Subject Jurisdiction of Incorporation or Registration
Field".   However, the OID names provided in that section use the string
"OfIncorporation", which is overly specific and might be considered
misleading, because not all business entities with EV certificates are
corporations.  Therefore, the string "OfIncorporation" should be deleted
from these OID names.

 

Motion Begins

 

DELETE the string "OfIncorporation" from the OID names in the three
certificate fields in Section 9.2.5 (Subject Jurisdiction of Incorporation
or Registration Field) so that the section, as amended, will read as
follows:

 

Certificate fields:

Locality (if required):  

 

subject:jurisdictionLocalityName (OID:  1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.1)

 

ASN.1 - X520LocalityName as specified in RFC 5280

 

State or province (if required):  

 

subject:jurisdictionStateOrProvinceName (OID:  1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.2)

 

ASN.1 - X520StateOrProvinceName as specified in RFC 5280 

 

Country:   

 

               subject:jurisdictionCountryName (OID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3)

 

ASN.1 – X520countryName as specified in RFC 5280

 

Required/Optional:   Required

 

Contents:   These fields MUST NOT contain information that is not relevant
to the level of the Incorporating Agency or Registration Agency.  For
example, the Jurisdiction of Incorporation for an Incorporating Agency or
Jurisdiction of Registration for a Registration Agency that operates at the
country level MUST include the country information but MUST NOT include the
state or province or locality information.  Similarly, the jurisdiction for
the applicable Incorporating Agency or Registration Agency at the state or
province level MUST include both country and state or province information,
but MUST NOT include locality information.  And, the jurisdiction for the
applicable Incorporating Agency or Registration Agency at the locality level
MUST include the country and state or province information, where the state
or province regulates the registration of the entities at the locality
level, as well as the locality information.  Country information MUST be
specified using the applicable ISO country code.  State or province or
locality information (where applicable) for the Subject’s Jurisdiction of
Incorporation or Registration MUST be specified using the full name of the
applicable jurisdiction.
