Purpose of Ballot SC-073

This ballot proposes updates to the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and 
Management of Publicly-Trusted TLS Server Certificates related to weak and 
compromised private keys. These changes lie primarily in Section 
6.1.1.3<http://6.1.1.3/>:

  *   6.1.1.3(4) clarifies that, for the purpose of this requirement, CAs shall 
be made aware of compromised keys using their existing notification 
mechanism(s).

  *   6.1.1.3(5) improves guidance for CAs around the detection of weak keys. 
Should this ballot pass, these changes become effective on November 15, 2024.

Notes:

  *   This ballot builds on the extensive work done by SSL.com in creating 
ballot SC-59v2 Weak Key Guidance. SSL.com’s contributions are appreciated.

  *   Thanks to Rob Stradling of Sectigo for the generation and publication of 
the set of Debian weak keys referenced in this ballot.

  *   The Debian weak keys requirements have been discussed extensively, 
including in the following threads: 
https://lists.cabforum.org/pipermail/servercert-wg/2024-March/004291.html and 
https://lists.cabforum.org/pipermail/servercert-wg/2024-April/004422.html

  *   This ballot does not appear to conflict with any other ballots that are 
currently under discussion.
