Subject: Voting Period begins - Ballot CSC-22: High Risk Requirements Update
Purpose of the Ballot
This ballot updates the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management
of Publicly‐Trusted Code Signing Certificates“ version 3.4 in order to clarify
language regarding Signing Service and signing requests. The main goals of this
ballot are to:
1. Remove references to High Risk Certificate Request, since the CSBRs do
not provide any actions for a high risk application.
2. Remove references to High Risk Region of Concern, since the CSBR appendix
has never been populated.
3. Remove rules for a Takeover Attack to require the Subscriber to generate
keys in a crypto device, since crypto device key generation is now a baseline
requirement for all code signing certificates.
4. Remove option to transfer private key which has been generated in
software.
5. Cleanup to remove Subscriber key generation option which expired
effective 1 June 2023.
6. Cleanup to remove “any other method” to verify the Subscriber key was
generated in a crypto device, since this option expired 1 June 2023.
The following motion has been proposed by Bruce Morton of Entrust and endorsed
by Tim Hollebeek of DigiCert and Ian McMillan of Microsoft.
