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

[Inigo Barreira]

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.

Hello Inigo, 

Can you be more specific? Which part of the ballot redline seems to need an
update/removal? 


Thanks, 

DZ.

Hi Dimitris,

I don´t know if the “(help to improve)” is adding any additional hidden
requirement. IMO, I´d remove that.

Regards

SC-75 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.
