Ballot SC032: NCSSRs Zones
July 23, 2020 by Ben WilsonThis ballot failed pursuant to the Bylaws. This email begins the discussion period for Ballot SC32. Purpose of Ballot: To remove ambiguity and delineate requirements for physical security and logical security. The Network and Certificate System Security Requirements (NCSSRs) were drafted with the concept of physical and logical “Zones” (Secure Zones, High Security Zones, and everything else outside those zones). However, the approach did not clearly separate the physical security aspects from the logical security aspects. “Zone” was defined as a “subset of Certificate Systems created by the logical or physical partitioning of systems from other Certificate Systems,” and “Secure Zone” was defined as an “area (physical or logical) protected by physical and logical controls that appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Certificate Systems.” “High Security Zone” was defined as a physical area- “A physical location where a CA’s or Delegated Third Party’s Private Key or cryptographic hardware is located”.
