[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC-75 - Pre-sign linting

[Inigo Barreira]

Hi Dimitris,

 

I don´t know if the “(help to improve)” is adding any additional hidden
requirement. IMO, I´d remove that.

 

Regards

SC-75 Pre-sign linting


Summary


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.

The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA
and endorsed by Corey Bonnell of Digicert and Ben Wilson of Mozilla.
