  • no comments on the ballot

Email from Bruce Morton (Entrust) 10/31/24

  • aligning the code signing BRs with SCWG BRs
  • Cory evaluated the ballot concerns
  • Ballot SC-73 - has some value with CSCWG
  • Ballot SC-75 - Pre-Sign linting - there is no linting created for CS at this time.
  • Ballot SC-76v2 -OCSP requirements - Microsoft removed their requirements. Martijn feels like we could follow the ballot; Corey agrees that the 15-minute rule has some value to Code Signing. There’s lots of pre-cert language in the ballot that does not relate to Code Signing.
  • Ballot SC-77 - Update Web Trust Audit name in Section 8.4 and references - already addressed
  • Ballot SC-78 - Subject organizationName - Martijn is checking to see if there are CS issues
  • Ballot SC 79v2 - allow more than one certificate policy - not relevant in CS environment.
  • Martijn mentioned a desired logging ballot; and will update the list with it, later.

Other business

  • New Chair starting 12/1/24 - Martijn and new Vice Chair Thomas
  • No meeting on 11/28 for Thanksgiving – Martijn will lead the meeting on 12/12; need to set new hosts for the WebEx meeting.
  • Dean gave a great farewell speech, and we all thanked him for his great service to the CSCWG

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).
