Minutes

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.

S/MIME Requirements
v1.0.8 - Ballot SMC010 - Dec 23, 2024

This ballot adopts Multi-Perspective Issuance Corroboration (MPIC) for CAs when conducting Email Domain Control Validation (DCV) and Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) checks for S/MIME Certificates. The Ballot adopts the MPIC implementation consistent with the TLS Baseline Requirements. Acknowledging that some S/MIME CAs with no TLS operations may require additional time to deploy MPIC, the Ballot has a Compliance Date of May 15, 2025. Following that date the implementation timeline described in TLS BR section 3.2.2.9 applies. This ballot is proposed by Stephen Davidson (DigiCert) and endorsed by Ashish Dhiman (GlobalSign) and Nicolas Lidzborski (Google).
