Minutes

Antitrust Statement: Read by Dean Coclin

Minute Taker: Martijn Katerbarg

Minutes of the June F2F meeting were approved

Signing Service discussion (continued)

With Bruce being absent from this meeting and having worked a great deal on this item, the group decided to hold off on discussing this item.

Timestamping (continued)

Ian has checked with Karina. They are working on doing a broad update of the root policy requirements and will be bundling this in.

Corey mentioned that we should be doing a cleanup ballot and then work on a ballot for a number of timestamp items

Proposal to revocation based on malware

Martijn sent out an email on Monday with a proposal to change the language related to malware revocation. As of yesterday, there is also a draft pull request available on Github (https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/pull/10)

There were no direct comments to the proposal

Other Business

Dean brought up having issues with write access on the code-signing Github repository. It was confirmed the pull-request was merged, meaning Github is up to date after CSC-14 has passed.

Corey suggested the Infrastructure subcommittee might need to address the overall Github access setup

The next meeting is set for July 14th.

Adjourned

S/MIME Requirements
v1.0.13 - Ballot SMC015v2 - Mar 28, 2026

This ballot introduces requirements that a CA or RA must follow to rely upon a Mobile Drivers License (mDL) to provide evidence for the authentication of individual identity. It allows the use of mDL that conform to ISO/IEC 18013-5 and which may be verified by the CA or RA in conformance with ISO/IEC 18013-7. The CA or RA shall only accept mDL from an Issuing Authority that is legally authorized by the relevant government or jurisdiction to issue driving licenses. The draft also aligns the subsections of 3.2.4.2 (Validation of individual identity) to correspond more closely with those in 3.2.4.1 (Attribute collection of individual identity). It also includes minor editorial corrections. SMC015v2 was updated to remove an additional reference to the superceded ETSI EN 319 403. This ballot is proposed by Stephen Davidson (DigiCert) and endorsed by Ben Wilson (Mozilla) and Scott Rea (eMudhra).
