[cabfpub] Proposal of a SHA-1 exception procedure

Greetings,

At the face to face meeting in Bilbao we heard there's still a need for new
SHA-1 certs from some sectors, most notably the payment industry, to avoid
outages of critical systems with real world impact.  We discussed if there
was a way we might balance these cases against the vitally important need
to ensure the security and safety of the public PKI.

Please take a look at the proposed procedure, attached.  It outlines a way
for CAs to request an exceptional SHA-1 issuance, including details which
would help with a risk management decision.  It's not a guaranty that any
such issuance would be acceptable, but provides a more structured approach
than what's already occurred this year, e.g. with worldpay.

I look forward to comments.

Cheers,

Andrew
