[cabfpub] When to stop accepting old ETSI audits?

Hi Peter,

 

I totally agree that Mozilla is free to set its own policy. I was just commenting that, if the basis of that policy is comparability with eIDAS then the cutoff there was 30 June 2016 after which all assessments had/have to be carried out under the new Regulation and at the latest by 1 July 2017.

 

All the transitional arrangements do is to say that any provider considered already to be ‘Qualified’ under the old basis on 1 July 2016 could continue to be considered ‘Qualified’ under the new basis until they submit their next report (against eIDAS) which has to be by 1 July 2017 at the latest.

 

Regards

Richard

Hi Richard,

according my opinion this is true only for those audits which TSP shall provide for the supervisory body (eIDAS Regulation Article 17) at least every 24 month. Mozilla is not such supervisory body so it’s on their decision what will be accepted. I agree with Inigo and Moudrick that the July 1, 2017 is reasonable date because at June 30, 2017 ends transitional measure (eIDAS Regulation, Artice 51 (3)) for submitting conformity assessment report to the supervisory body according eIDAS regulation. So all EU TSP  which are qualified TSP now due the transitional measure (eIDAS Regulation, Artice 51 (3))  still has a time to wait  with such type of audit. 

 

Regards

Peter

That is certainly true in some Member States (UK included) but is doesn’t alter fact that eIDAS came into force on 1st July 2016 and any Conformity Assessment Report submitted after that date would have to demonstrate compliance with the eIDAS regulation – and the old ETSI TS are not sufficient for that purpose.

 

However, I believe that some MS have produced their Supervisory Body requirements (e.g. LU, MT & SE) and there are also some very detailed guidelines being drafted by ENISA that can be viewed at https://www.enisa.europa.eu/topics/trust-services/guidelines/

 

Cheers

Richard

Indeed, Richard, but unfortunately what used to be a single step (audit) now needs two steps - the TSPs need to meet also the [non-existing] supervisor requirements.

Thanks,
M.D.

Technically, eIDAS gave July 2016 as the cutoff but allowed one year for transition. However, it states that any audits after July 2016 must use new requirements.

Yes, July 2017 is reasonable - the new ones require extra bureaucracy with the supervisors.

Thanks,

Dear CAB Forum members,
 
Ballot 171, passed on 1st July 2016, updated the BRs to remove the old
ETSI criteria (ETSI TS 101 456 V1.4.3 or ETSI TS 102 042 V2.3.1) and add
the new ones (ETSI EN 319 411-1 v1.1.1 or ETSI EN 319 411-2 v2.1.1).
This change was made in BRs v.1.3.6. However, no dates were associated
with the change.
 
Mozilla CA Policy 2.3 (about to be published) permits either set of
criteria to be used.
 
By what date would it be reasonable for Mozilla to require that all new
ETSI audits use the new criteria?
 
Inigo says that eIDAS (which, of course, refers only to the issuance of
Qualified certificates) have specified July 2017 as the end date for the
old criteria. Would that be a reasonable choice?
