I'm reposting Ballot 148 with new review and voting periods to address
recent comments.

 

 

Ballot 148 - Issuer Field Correction (Rev 1)

________________________________________

Reason 

________________________________________

The issuer field language in Section 9.1 of the Baseline Requirements
confuses two issues: 

1) the contents of the issuer field in an end entity cert and 

2) how to name root and intermediate CA certificates. 

 

To clarify the issue and ensure proper name chaining, this ballot fixes the
issuer field requirements and, to clarify that commonName field is part of
the distinguished name, moves all of the Subject Distinguished Name Field
requirements under the proper section. The ballot also removes requirements
around the domainComponent field as the field is not used by current TLS
clients. A subsequent ballot will address naming of roots and intermediates
under current Section 9.2.5. 

 

Doug Beattie of GlobalSign made the following motion, which was endorsed by
Jeremy Rowley of DigiCert and Richard Wang of WoSign. 

________________________________________

Motion begins 

________________________________________

1) Replace Section 9.1 with the following: 

"9.1 Issuer Information 

The content of the Certificate Issuer Distinguished Name field MUST match
the Subject DN of the Issuing CA to support Name chaining as specified in
RFC 5280, section 4.1.2.4." 

 

2) Move Section 9.2.2 to 9.2.2(a) and renumber the subsequent sections as
b-i. 

 

3) Delete Section 9.2.3. 

 

4) Renumber 9.2.4 as 9.2.2. 

 

5) In section 9.2, edit section reference "9.2.2" to "9.2.2 (a)"

 

6) Update section references 9.2.4 (f) to 9.2.2.(g) and 9.2.4 to 9.2.2
throughout document.

 

7) In Appendix B (Certificate Content and Extensions), Item (1) Root CA
Certificates, add 

F. Subject Information

The Certificate Subject MUST contain the following

- countryName (OID 2.5.4.6).  This field MUST contain the two-letter ISO
3166-1 country code for the country in which the CA's place of business is
located.  

- organizationName (OID 2.5.4.10). This field MUST contain the name (or
abbreviation thereof), trademark, or other meaningful identifier for the CA,
provided that they accurately identify the CA.  The field MUST NOT contain
exclusively a generic designation such as "Root 1".

 

8) In Appendix B (Certificate Content and Extensions), Item (2) Subordinate
CA Certificate, add 

H. The Certificate Subject MUST contain the following

- countryName (OID 2.5.4.6).  This field MUST contain the two-letter ISO
3166-1 country code for the country in which the CA's place of business is
located.  

- organizationName (OID 2.5.4.10). This field MUST contain the name (or
abbreviation thereof), trademark, or other meaningful identifier for the CA,
provided that they accurately identify the CA.  The field MUST NOT contain
