[Servercert-wg] [EXTERNAL]-Re: Ballot SC-75 v2 - Pre-sign linting

Tue Jun 11 19:04:02 UTC 2024

I still think that the section “CAs are encouraged to contribute to open-source Linting projects, such as by:” is a bit out of place in the BR.

It’s not that I’m against, not at all, it’s a good thing and we totally fine with this expectation, but I think such “encouragement” is not matching the rest of the language of the BR. I would see this more fit in a Root Program Policy...

In fact, the only other place where “encouragement” is used is in section 8 (“We encourage all CAs to conform to each revision herein on the date specified without awaiting a corresponding update to an applicable audit criterion.”), that is, INHO, even incorrectly worded, as that requirement is a MUST in my understanding.

>> There have been numerous compliance incidents publicly disclosed by CAs in which they failed to comply with the technical requirements described in standards associated with the issuance and management of publicly-trusted TLS Certificates. However, the industry has developed open-source tools, linters, that are free to use and can help CAs avoid certificate misissuance. Using such linters before issuing a precertificate from a Publicly-Trusted CA (pre-issuance linting) can prevent the mis-issuance in a wide variety of cases.
