[Smcwg-public] Secure Mail Subject DN

[Doug Beattie]

Hi Stephen,

 

Maybe the group hasn’t yet progressed into Subject DN field definitions (I’ve missed a few meetings and I didn’t see this in the Google spreadsheet profile table), but are we planning to parallel the CABF BRs when it comes to this?

 

TLS DV: Could be the basis for an S/MIME profile with just an email somewhere in the subject DN (CN or E) so that the subject is not empty

TLS OV: Could be the basis for an S/MIME profile  with C, S, L, O and maybe OU in the subject DN (and perhaps email in CN or E)

TLS IV: Could be the basis for an S/MIME profile with C, S, L and then givenName and surname fields.  The CA could optionally populate the name values into the Org field when issuing to a natural person or DBA.  That seems like a reasonable approach and parallels the BRs.

 

When do you think we’ll dive into the subject DN field definitions?

 

Doug
