[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC-75 v2 - Pre-sign linting

Mon Jun 10 15:45:00 UTC 2024

Thanks. I’ve added a suggestion onto the PR to hopefully make this clearer. 

I also added a linebreak, so as to hopefully indicate to CAs that linting alone during the self-audit is not enough to satisfy the self-audit requirements.

Dimitris, 
I’ve got a question as to the intent of the following line from section 8.7: 

“Effective 2025-03-15, the CA SHOULD use a Linting process to verify the technical accuracy of Certificates within the selected sample set.” 

Is the intent here that the CA should re-lint the selected sample set, even if they were originally linted during the issuance process (as pre-issuance, post-issuance, or both)? 

Yes, as this may include a new version of the Linting software. Please let me know you have any suggested language to make this a bit more clear.

Thanks,
Dimitris.

Regards,

Martijn

SC-75 v2 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.
