S/MIME Certificate Working Group update (Stephen Davidson)
- Met yesterday (1/19)
- Several items on agenda, only able to discuss the first.
- Methods for mailbox validation
- Draft language that exists for the domain validation methods coming from the BRs, as well as the possibility of authenticating control over an individual mailbox (the first option is the bulk authorization for an enterprise RA, the second, for example, is for a one off approval)
- New proposed method – new to us and the TLS BRs, proposed by Foutis (Google) to use mxrecords.
- A lot of discussion surrounding this because it has similarities to discussions that have taken place in the TLS group related to CNAMEs.
- General agreement it’s an important method to include – people are digging into how we express it.
- Some discussion on validity of random values (adopted from TLS BRs) – where possibly the adopted timeframes were too long and should be revisited.
- Have this discussion take place upstream at the TLS group.
- Some related discussions that will be picked up at the next meeting related to information reuse periods, and different aspects of enterprise RAs.
NetSec Working group establishment and report
Updates from Ben:
- Need to update Google Sheet/Membership records
- Clint has been helping with updates
- Discussed resetting the meeting time, perhaps into the infrastructure committee slot (more participants in the NetSec group, would be ideal if Infrastructure group could move to a different time). In any event, there will be a poll to help determine the future meeting time.
- Current time slot (11 AM PT) is not favorable for folks in Europe.
Next F2F: Salt Lake City, Feb 22-24
- Chairs and Vice Chairs are meeting on 1/21 to discuss and set agenda.
- If you are coming in person, please fill out the Wiki (dedicated section depending on participant type).

- Dean is looking forward to getting the group together.
