[cabf_validation] FW: [cabfcert_policy] A question about EV SSL Certificate Guidelines 11.2.1. Verification Requirements

Mon Feb 22 17:52:16 MST 2016

Li-Chun – I apologize for not responding to you earlier on this.

The Validation Working Group (VWG) spent all its time on its last two phone calls on the new domain validation methods.  This was so we would be ready for the face to face meeting in Scottsdale last week.

We have a VWG call this week, and I will bring up your suggestion – I think it looks good and is an improvement to the EV Guidelines.

Thanks for your patience.

Kirk

Dear Kirk,

      As below sentences in EVGL 8.5.4 section about Registration Agency for Business Entity Subjects,  I suggest to modify the wording of EVGL 11.2.1 3(B)

      8.5.4. Business Entity Subjects
An Applicant qualifies as a Business Entity if:
(1) The entity is a legally recognized entity that filed certain forms with a Registration Agency in its jurisdiction, the
Registration Agency issued or approved the entity’s charter, certificate, or license, and the entity’s existence can be
verified with that Registration Agency;
(2) The entity has a verifiable physical existence and business presence;
(3) At least one Principal Individual associated with the entity is identified and validated by the CA;
(4) The identified Principal Individual attests to the representations made in the Subscriber Agreement;
(5) the CA verifies the entity’s use of any assumed name used to represent the entity pursuant to the requirements of
Section 11.3 herein;

Sincerely Yours,

           Li-Chun

Dear Kirk,

        I hope as

     EVGL 11.2.1 (

3) Business Entity Subjects ***

(B) Organization Name: Verify that the Applicant’s formal legal name as recognized by the Registration agency or Registration Authority in the Applicant’s Jurisdiction of Registration matches the Applicant’s name in the EV Certificate Request.

       Note that, in the 4. Definitions, there are

Registration Agency: A Governmental Agency that registers business information in connection with an entity’s
business formation or authorization to conduct business under a license, charter or other certification. A Registration
Agency MAY include, but is not limited to (i) a State Department of Corporations or a Secretary of State; (ii) a
licensing agency, such as a State Department of Insurance; or (iii) a chartering agency, such as a state office or
department of financial regulation, banking or finance, or a federal agency such as the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency or Office of Thrift Supervision.

Incorporating Agency: In the context of a Private Organization, the government agency in the Jurisdiction of
Incorporation under whose authority the legal existence of the entity is registered (e.g., the government agency that
issues certificates of formation or incorporation). In the context of a Government Entity, the entity that enacts law,
regulations, or decrees establishing the legal existence of Government Entities.

And it SSL BR:

1.6. DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS

Registration Authority (RA): Any Legal Entity that is responsible for identification and authentication of
subjects of Certificates, but is not a CA, and hence does not sign or issue Certificates. An RA may assist in the
certificate application process or revocation process or both. When “RA” is used as an adjective to describe a
role or function, it does not necessarily imply a separate body, but can be part of the CA.

      But you said “in the US, Business Entities (non-incorporated entities like a general partnership) generally do not file any documents with an “Incorporating Authority” the way a Private Organization (like a corporation) does.”, so maybe we have to reserve the term Registration Authority
and read as

3) Business Entity Subjects ***

(B) Organization Name: Verify that the Applicant’s formal legal name as recognized by the Registration agency or Registration Authority in the Applicant’s Jurisdiction of Registration matches the Applicant’s name in the EV Certificate Request.

Sincerely Yours,

       Li-Chun

Hi, Li-Chun – I think I agree with your suggested change, but I want to make sure I understand exactly what your suggested change is.

Do you want to amend EVGL 11.2.1(3)(b) to read as follows?

EVGL 11.2.1 (

3) Business Entity Subjects ***

(B) Organization Name: Verify that the Applicant’s formal legal name as recognized by the Incorporating or Registration Authority in the Applicant’s Jurisdiction of Registration matches the Applicant’s name in the EV Certificate Request.

This would make (3)(B) for Business Entity Subjects the same as (1)(B) for Private Organizations.  (A Business Entity is like a partnership, while a Private Organization is like a corporation.)

Is that the change that you are suggesting?

My only thought is that in the US, Business Entities (non-incorporated entities like a general partnership) generally do not file any documents with an “Incorporating Authority” the way a Private Organization (like a corporation) does.  However, it is possible that in some countries they do – so I would not object to a change.

Dear Dean,

      I am not a member of validation working group. (Although I have joined a conference call one time of validation working group as I remember a wrong time for Certificate Policy Working Group).

      Please help me to post my question to the validation working group. Thank you.

Sincerely Yours,
