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

Tue May 21 08:04:58 UTC 2024

I see, it was added as a hint for CAs to also assist in improving these open source linting tools like some CAs have done in the past. As part of a SHOULD, it would be helpful to get some CAs involved into building and improving existing lints.

I can remove the parenthesis and add it as a clear SHOULD if this is helpful.

Will this work better?

Dimitris

PS: I will respond to Ryan's post later this week after consulting with the co-sponsors.

> Sure, in the last para of section 4.3.1.2, the sentence “… but CAs SHOULD use (and help improve) the Linting tools …” and I was suggesting removing that “(and help improve)” because IMO this can´t go in the main requirement/recommendation and “the help to improve” be seen as another requirement instead of a suggestion or willing to act which I think is what you had in mind.

> **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.
