Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
This request from Guangdong Certificate Authority (GDCA) is to include the "GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT" certificate, turn on the Websites trust bit, and enabled EV treatment. GDCA is a nationally recognized CA that operates under China’s Electronic Signature Law. GDCA’s customers are business corporations registered in mainland China, government agencies of China, individuals or mainland China citizens, servers of business corporations which have been registered in mainland China, and software developers. The request is documented in the following bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1128392 And in the pending certificates list: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:PendingCAs Summary of Information Gathered and Verified: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8749437 Noteworthy points: * Root Certificate Download URL: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8748933 https://www.gdca.com.cn/cert/GDCA_TrustAUTH_R5_ROOT.der * The primary documents are provided in Chinese.

CPS section 3.2.5: For domain verification, GDCA needs to check the written materials which can be used to prove the ownership of corresponding domain provided by applicant. Meanwhile, GDCA should ensure the ownership of domain from corresponding registrant or other authoritative third-party databases. During the verification, GDCA needs to perform the following procedures: 1. GDCA should confirm that the domain's owner is certificate applicant based on the information queried from corresponding domain registrant or authoritative third-party database and provided by applicant. 2. GDCA should confirm that the significant information (such as document information of applicant) in application materials are consistent with the reply of domain's owner by sending email or making phone call based on the contact information (such as email, registrar, administrator's email published at this domain's website, etc.) queried from corresponding domain registrant or authoritative third-party database. If necessary, GDCA also need to take other review measures to confirm the ownership of the domain name. Applicant can't refuse to the request for providing appropriate assistance. * EV Policy OID: 1.2.156.112559.1.1.6.1 * Test Website: https://ev-ssl-test-1.95105813.cn/ * CRL URLs: http://www.gdca.com.cn/crl/GDCA_TrustAUTH_R5_ROOT.crl http://www.gdca.com.cn/crl/GDCA_TrustAUTH_R4_SSL_CA.crl http://www.gdca.com.cn/crl/GDCA_TrustAUTH_R4_Extended_Validation_SSL_CA.crl * OCSP URL: http://www.gdca.com.cn/TrustAUTH/ocsp * Audit: Annual audits are performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP according to the WebTrust criteria.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
All, This request is to include the "GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT" certificate, turn on the Websites trust bit, and enabled EV treatment. In order to help get this discussion moving again, I asked GDCA to provide a side-by-side comparison of the latest version of the BRs with their CP/CPS documents. They provided this BR-self-assessment here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8851230 The documents that were evaluated in this self-assessment are available on the CA's website. All of these documents contain both the original text in Chinese, and the translation into English. Document Repository: https://www.gdca.com.cn/customer_service/knowledge_universe/cp_cps/ GDCA CP v1.5: https://www.gdca.com.cn/customer_service/knowledge_universe/cp_cps/CPCPS-GDCA1.5GDCA-CP-V1.5/ GDCA CPS v4.4: https://www.gdca.com.cn/customer_service/knowledge_universe/cp_cps/CPCPS-GDCA4.4GDCA-CPS-V4.4/ GDCA EV CP v1.3: https://www.gdca.com.cn/customer_service/knowledge_universe/cp_cps/CPCPS-GDCA-EV1.3GDCA-EV-CP-V1.3/ GDCA EV CPS v1.4: https://www.gdca.com.cn/customer_service/knowledge_universe/cp_cps/CPCPS-GDCA-EV1.4GDCA-EV-CPS-V1.4/ I will greatly appreciate it if you all would take another look at this CA's request, review their self-assessment, and respond in this discussion to let me know if you believe that this CA has addressed all of your questions or concerns. Also, I would like to make this BR-self-assessment a standard part of Mozilla's root inclusion/change process. I will draft what that will look like, and start a separate discussion about it.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
Greetings, I've given the CP V1.6 and CPS V4.5 docs a quick looking through and have the following comments: * Please don't protect your PDFs for printing * https://SSLTEST-2.95105813.cn - which I believe should be revoked, has also expired. The revoked test cert should be otherwise valid and not expired. * While there is mention of how CAA records are dealt with in section 4.2.4, it doesn't seem to specify what value is expected to be present in the record for the check to pass. * 3.2.7. 域名的确认和鉴别 Domain name recognition and identification - This section references BR version v1.4.1. Version 1.4.4 is current and has changes in the section numbers referred to here. (Also see versions under IPR review on the CAB Forum website) * 7.1 Certificate profile: There is no mention of how the serial number is generated. The BRs specify "Effective September 30, 2016, CAs SHALL generate non‐sequential Certificate serial numbers greater than zero (0) containing at least 64 bits of output from a CSPRNG." * CP 7.1.3 says "The cryptographic algorithm identifiers of certificates issued by GDCA include sha1RSA, sha256RSA and sha256ECDSA". SHA1 signatures must not be used in any part of the publically trusted hierarchy. * CP 7.1.5 on "Name Constraints" looks like it's referring to 3.1.2 "Need for names to be meaningful". This section is meant to refer to RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.10 name constraints. * CPS Appendix1: Certificate information of the publicly trusted CAs: Most of the listed CAs can't be found in crt.sh - it would be great to get them CT logged. * Only GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT (SHA-1 Fingerprint 0F:36:38:5B:81:1A:25:C3:9B:31:4E:83:CA:E9:34:66:70:CC:74:B4) seems to have been disclosed in Mozilla's CCADB.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
Greetings, I have reviewed your second BR self-assessment (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8860627) against your updated CP/CPS (CP V1.6, CPS V4.5, EV CP V1.4, and EV CPS V1.5) and provided the following comments and/or recommendations. 1. BR Section 3.2.2.5 Authentication for an IP: Per your comments please make sure your CPS states “GDCA does not issue EV certificate for an IP address.” 2. BR Section 3.2.2.7 Data Source Accuracy: I recommend adding the specific length of time data is relied upon (i.e. 39 months or 825 days per BRs) to section 3.2.11 of your CPS. 3. BR Section 3.2.2.7 Data Source Accuracy: I recommend adding the specific length of time data is relied upon (i.e. 39 months or 825 days per BRs) to section 3.2.7 of your EV CPS. 4. BR Section 3.2.3 Authentication of Individual Identity: I do not see in the CPS/CP where the differences in authentication of individuals is backed up by the appropriate technical constraining of the type of certificate issued. 4.1. Your comments for Type I and Type II Individual Certificates state they “are only for ordinary signing certificates, not for SSL certificates and code signing certificates” but I can’t find in the CPS where this is substantiated. I recommend clearly documenting in the CPS how each type of certificate is technically constrained (i.e. Key Usage, Enhanced Key Usage, etc.) and in CPS section 1.3.7.1 removing the words “but not limited to”. 4.2. For Type III certificates change the word “can” to “must”. (i.e. This must be validated by ID card, officer card or other valid document issued by government agency.” 5. BR Section 3.2.5 Validation of Authority: Per your comments please make sure this is clearly defined in the next version of your CPS. 6. BR Section 3.2.6 Criteria for Interoperation or Certification. Per your comments please make sure the next version of your CPS states you do not issue any cross certificates. 7. BR Section 4.2.1 Performing Identification and Authentication Functions. Per your comments please make sure the next version of your CPS states you do not rely on data older than 27 months (or 39 months or 825 days per BRs). 8. BR Section 4.2.2 Approval or Rejection of Certificate Applications: Per your comments please make sure the next version of your CPS states GDCA does not issue certificates containing a new gTLD under consideration by ICANN. 9. BR Section 4.3.1 CA Actions during Certificate Issuance: Per your comments please make sure the next version of your CPS states “Certificate issuance by the Root CA SHALL require an individual authorized by the CA (i.e. the CA system operator, system officer, or PKI administrator) to deliberately issue a direct command in order for the Root CA to perform a certificate signing operation.” 10. BR Section 4.5.1 Subscriber private key and certificate usage: Per your comments please make sure the next version of your CPS details the use of SSL certificates per #4 (Use of Certificate) as described in BR Section 9.6.3. Subscriber Representations and Warranties. 11.

Good: - The reports and management assertion include an English language version - The English versions are authoritative (no qualification the Chinese language version holds in case of conflict) - The reports clearly state they use the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 standard - The report and assertion use the current version of the criteria - The assertions include details of each CA in the appendix, including an indication of whether it is a Root CA and a cryptographic hash (fingerprint) associated with each CA Opportunties for Improvement: - The basic WebTrust Report and assertion do not specify location(s) where services are provided. Other reports do indicate the services are provided in/from China. - The opinions do not specify the list of Certification Authorities in scope - The reports and asssertions do not specify the versions of the CP and CPS - The management assertion appendixes mix keys and certificates. The certificate is not the interesting part; the CA Distinguished Name (DN), type (Root or not), Key, and Key ID are the interesting parts. - The BR report repeats a bullet under "Maintained effective controls to provide reasonable assurance that:" Bad: - The basic WebTrust for CA Report does not cover controls that provide assurance that subordinate CA certificate requests are accurate, authenticated, and approved (the management assertion does, so this indicates the auditor might have found issues with the controls) - The basic WebTrust for CA Management assertion does not include Subordinate CA [cross-]certification in the list of CA services - The basic WebTrust for CA Management assertion does not include "Subordinate CA Certificate Lifecycle Management Controls" in the list of portions of criteria used - After the reporting period ended, GDCA issued at least two new subordinate CA certificates from the R5 root. These use the organization name of "Global Digital Cybersecurity Authority Co., Ltd." and have keys and key IDs that are identical to those found in CA certificates for GUANG DONG CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY CO.,LTD. This is problematic as re-use of key IDs with different issuer names causes problems on some platforms. Additionally the separate DN means it is out of scope for the submitted report. Combined with the lack of audited controls around subordinate CA management, CAs outside of the scope of the report may be a significant concern. - The Baseline + Network Security Requirements report and management assertion only covers two of the CAs. However the cross-certs issued by the root to the subordinate CAs do not include EKU constraints, so the subordinate CAs are capable of issuing server authentication ("SSL") certificates. The assertion and report should include all CAs that are capable of issuing ser authentication certificates. - The Baseline report does not provide an option that GDCA "maintained effective controls to provide reasonable assurance that it meets the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements as set forth by the CA/Browser Forum" - The Extended Validation report and management assertion attempts to merge the Extended Validation SSL and Extended Validation Code Signing criteria. These should be distinct reports. As writtten, the report fails to adequately cover the EVCS critera. The WebTrust/PKI Task Force has published a draft set of illustrative reports to use as a basis (http://www.webtrust.org/practitioner-qualifications/item83253.pdf), so it should be faily easy to resolve the missing bits.

Other reports do indicate the services are provided in/from China.

So that the subordinate certificate request did not be mentioned in the audit report. - The basic WebTrust for CA Management assertion does not include Subordinate CA [cross-]certification in the list of CA services.

You have one or more CAs that have a non-zero path constraint. Therefore they are able to issue certificates to subordinate CAs, whether operated by your organization or externally operated. As such, it is important that the CA have controls around issuing CA certificates and that the auditor has reasonable assurance the controls function as designed. > - After the reporting period ended, GDCA issued at least two new subordinate > CA certificates from the R5 root.

You have one or more CAs that have a non-zero path constraint. Therefore they are able to issue certificates to subordinate CAs, whether operated by your organization or externally operated. As such, it is important that the CA have controls around issuing CA certificates and that the auditor has reasonable assurance the controls function as designed. Reply: We’ve communicated with our auditor and knew that they always performed design effectiveness audit to all of our controls, include controls around issuing CA certificates. As there is no subordinate certificate request happened during the audit period, it was not mentioned in the audit report. It’s a good suggestion, they would specify the controls around issuing CA certificates in the future report no matter if it happens. > - After the reporting period ended, GDCA issued at least two new subordinate > CA certificates from the R5 root.

However you issued new CA certificates with the new name which means you do issue CA certificates from time to time. Reply: The issuing of new CA certificates was after the period of audit report. We’ve informed Mozilla of the situation that we’ve issued new CA certificates which only changed the DN because of our company’s name change to facilitate our customers' use. During the issuing process, we also consulted our auditor about the format of new CA certificates. Also, if we don't change the DN of certificates, it will be difficult for browser users to confirm the identity of us when they visit the website whose certificate was signed by us because the CA name in certificate is “Guangdong certificate…” while our actual name is “Global Digital…”.

The question is not whether you have external sub-CAs, but whether all the CAs that are subordinate to your root have controls around issuance of server authentication certificates. Reply: Our CA system has realized the control that only appointed CA certificates can issue SSL certificates. We’ve communicated with our auditor and confirmed that the control effectiveness has been covered in their audit work. So only CA certificates mentioned in the management assertio

Hello, I have completed a read through of the English translations of the CP (v1.2) and CPS (v4.1). Before I post my comments I wanted to see if there were any more recent translations? It looks like the local language versions are 1.4 and 4.3 respectively.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
Hello, Thank you for the links. I note, however, that there's at least one difference between the native language version and the English translation: http://www.gdca.com.cn/cps/cps version 4.3 has a section 4.2.4 covering CAA. https://bug1128392.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=8795091 version 4.3 in English has no such section. The fact there's a discrepancy is rather worrying. Could you please check and let me know if there are any other substantive differences between the Chinese and English versions?

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
Thanks for bringing the discrepancy into our attention. Even the cover page of the English and Chinese version of CPS are dated differently. English Global Digital Cybersecurity Authority CO., LTD. Certification Practice Statement (CPS) Version: V4.3 Effective Date: July 1, 2016 Chinese 数安时代科技股份有限公司 电子认证业务规则 版本:V4.3 生效日期:2016 年 8 月 1 日 (Effective date: August 1st, 2016) In 1.1.3 3) the Chinese version shows ROOTCA(SM2) - Guangdong Certificate Authority(SM2) while the English version shows ROOTCA(SM2) - SM2 CA Certificate. I saw 4) included in the English version about 1.1.3 5) 数安时代 R5 根 CA and 6) GDCA TrustAUTH E5 ROOT are completely missing in the English version. I translated the 6) section below. GDCA TrustAUTH E5 ROOT uses ECC, with the root key length 384-bit . It has 7 sub-CA. 1)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 EV SSL CA with key length 256-bit and it signs 256-bit EV SSL servers. 2)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 OV SSL CA and it signs 256-bit OV SSL certs for servers. (3)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 IV SSL CA,256-bit key and signs 256-bit IV SSL certs for servers; (4)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 DV SSL CA,256-bit key and signs 256-bit DV SSL certs for servers; (5)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 CodeSigning CA 256-bit key,and signs 256-bit code certs;(6)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 Generic CA, 256-bit,signed 256-bit certs for organizations and individuals ;(7)GDCA TrustAUTH E4 Primer CA, 256-bit,and signs 256-bit personal certs. GDCA TrustAUTH E5 ROOT will expire on 2040 Dec 31st. GDCA TrustAUTH E4 EV SSL CA will expire on 2030 Dec 31st. From 2027 Jan,1st ,no new certs will be signed with it. …( More expiration date stuff) GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT 、数安时代 R5 根 CA 证书、GDCA TrustAUTH E5 ROOT’s intermediate certs: GDCA conforms to the latest version of CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly Trusted SSL Digital Certificates published at www.cabforum.org. In the event that a discrepancy arises between interpretations of this document and Baseline Requirement, the Baseline Requirement shall govern. This is as far as I read. There are probably many more inconsistencies as Yuwei pointed out. I suggest Mozilla ask a staff who know Chinese to fully translate the Chinese CPS yourself and compare with the provided English CPS ___ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy

This is not just a translation problem but a version control problem. Sometimes it can be lying. Let me try to be more specific: When publishing a document called CPS version 4.3 the document with that number must have the same contents in all languages that have a document with that name and version number. When making any change, even just correcting a mistyped URL, the document becomes a new document version which should have a new and larger number than the number of the document before the change. Thus when a published document refers to a broken URL on your own server, it is often cheaper to repair the server than to publish a new document version. Some of the oldest CAs have been proudly publishing their various important files at multiple URLs corresponding to whatever was mentioned in old CP and CPS documents etc., only shutting down those URLs years after the corresponding CA roots were shut down. There can also be a "draft" document which has no number and which contains the changes that will go into the next numbered edition. Such a "draft" would have no official significance, as it has not been officially "published". For a well-planned change, the final "draft" would be translated and checked into the relevant languages (e.g. Chinese with mainland writing system, Chinese with Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions old writing system, English), before simultaneously publishing the matching documents with the same number on the same day. There are infinitely many version numbers in the universe to choose from. There are also computer programs that can generate new version numbers every time a draft is changed, but computers cannot decide when a version is good enough in all languages to make an official publication, and the computer generated version numbers are often impractical for publication because they count all the small steps that were not published.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
We have already implemented version control on Chinese version CP/CPS, which include version number (e.g. V4.3) and effective date (e.g. 2016-08-01). The revision and release of CP/CPS are reviewed and approved by the security policy committee (see section 1.5 in CP/CPS). Meanwhile, we are a Chinese company and all of our customers are domestic. We only released the Chinese version of the CP/CPS, the English CP/CPS is only the translation version for reference. It’s our negligence that we did a poor CP/CPS English translation for the latest version (CN version V4.3). After discussion and your suggestion, we will make sure that the same version of CP/CPS will be consistent in all languages in the future. We've reconfirmed that the English version of CP/CPS uploaded by us in 2016-09-27 cannot be consistent with the latest Chinese version. We’ll upload the latest English version CP/CPS to you in this week.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request
"When facing any requirements of laws and regulations or any demands for undergoing legal process of court and other agencies, GDCA must provide confidential information in this CP" Can GDCA specify what other agencies are included? In China, many requests are relayed simply through a phone call without any paper trail or IM and the service providers must meet the demand very quickly. Are such informal procedures honored by GDCA? ___ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy

We are not intended to cover-up anything since we had disclosed every change to the Chinese version CP/CPS at once after the auditor reviewed. The “ROOTCA(SM2)” CA in $1.1.3 of CPS ver4.3 is equivalent to the “SM2 ROOT Certificate” CA in $1.1.3 of CPS ver4.1. The “Guangdong Certificate Authority(SM2) ” CA in $1.1.3 of CPS ver4.3 is equivalent to the “SM2 CA Certificate” CA in $1.1.3 of CPS ver4.1. We change these names in diagram in this revision in order to show the actual CN of these certificates.

It is acceptable to have a single CPS that covers CAs that are included the Mozilla list of trust anchors and CAs that are not trusted by Mozilla. The CPS should make clear which portions apply to which CA when there are portions that do not apply to all CAs. In this case, I would expect that the ROOTCA(SM2) CA is not proposed for inclusion in Mozilla. As long as the CPS does not allow issuance of SM2 signed certificates or certificates with SM2 subject public keys from the CAs proposed for inclusion in Mozilla, I do not seen an issue.

There is nothing in Mozilla's policy that forbids CAs using resellers and/or selling via 3rd party sites. Many, if not most, CAs in the Mozilla program have reseller programs.

Thanks to all of you who have reviewed and commented on this request from Guangdong Certificate Authority (GDCA) is to include the "GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT" certificate, turn on the Websites trust bit, and enabled EV treatment. There were some recommendations to deny this request due to the versioning problems between the English documents and the original documents. Do you all still feel that is the proper answer to this root inclusion request? Or should we proceed with reviewing these new English translations of the documents, and make our decision based on the new versions?

Agree with Gerv & Tony, More patience should be given if they want to improve. And I don’t think “I posted on the solidot (Chinese Slashdot) about this. The majority comments want the application rejected. “is enough to be the reason to reject the request. For many Chinese companies, they do need to learn how to work with global community, they might even have language issues to use English as the working language, for Guang Dong CA case, I can see they are willing to work with the community and we should encourage them to do more.

Read through this discussion thread, here is my take on this. GDCA has taken action to address the discrepancies between English and Chinese CP/CPS and put in place stricter version control.

I think Mozilla needs to update its guidance to CAs. The information checklist directions (https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Information_checklist#Verification_Policies_and_Practices) says "If the CP/CPS documents are not in English, then the portions of those documents pertaining to verification of the certificate subscriber must be translated into English." This makes me think that the expectation is not that the full doc is in English and that a one-time translation is acceptable.

Done... https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Information_checklist#Verification_Policies_and_Practices now says: "If the CP/CPS documents are not in English, then the CP/CPS documents that are relevant to the root inclusion request must be translated into English." Also updated https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Recommended_Practices#Publicly_Available_CP_and_CPS to add the second sentence to the 3rd bullet point: "The CP/CPS should be available in an English version. The non-English version may be authoritative (as that's the working language of the CA) but the CA is responsible for ensuring that the translation is not materially different from the authoritative version of the document." Note that this is also on our list of things to add directly to the policy: https://github.com/mozilla/pkipolicy/issues/6 > > This makes me think that the expectation is not that the full doc is > in English and that a one-time translation is acceptable. > > I don't think we should hold it against GDCA that Mozilla's > requirements have apparently changed. Fair enough. Before asking folks to review the documents again... Would a representative of GDCA please confirm that the following translations are correct to the best of their knowledge? Please also confirm that these documents match the corresponding version of the document in Chinese (no material differences).

We have sent a complete CP/CPS in English to our auditor. They will review the documents to ensure it is consistent with the Chinese version and meets the latest requirements. The CP/CPS in English will be revised and approved in light of Section 1.5 in CP/CPS after receiving feedback from the auditor, and will be published in our website before November 22nd 23:59 (Beijing time). We hope everyone can have a discussion based on the newly published versions. Thanks to all for your understanding and suggestions to GDCA. We will keep an open mind to process any further issues. ___ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy

As I understand it, what happened was as follows: * As part of their application, GDCA provided both Chinese and English versions of their CP/CPS, posted to m.d.s.policy on 3rd August: Chinese CP: http://www.gdca.com.cn/cp/cp Chinese CPS: http://www.gdca.com.cn/cps/cps English CP: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8650346 English CPS: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8688749 (I don't immediately have URLs for their EV CP and CPS in Chinese or English from the original submission.) * On 26th September, it was pointed out by Andrew Whalley that the English versions had lower version numbers than the Chinese versions (CP: 1.2 vs. 1.4; CPS: 4.1 vs 4.3) * On 27th September, one day later, GDCA provided new English versions with the same version numbers as the Chinese versions: CP V1.4: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8795090 CPS V4.3: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8795091 EV CP V1.2: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8795093 EV CPS V1.3: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8795094 * It was pointed out by more than one person that there were significant content differences between the English and Chinese versions which were both labelled with the same version number * GDCA said this was due to a "poor CP/CPS English translation" and on 28th October, provided new English versions (again) with the same version numbers CP: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8805543 CPS: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8805545 EV CP: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8805546 EV CPS: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8805547 What Mozilla has to decide is whether this was incompetence or malice. Were GDCA trying to hide something? If so, their inclusion must be in doubt. If they were not trying to hide something and just need a lesson in version control, that is not necessarily something which disqualifies, although it does give one concern. Looking at the CPS (using pdf2txt and diff), the differences between the originally-submitted v4.1 and the first 4.3 are very minor. One intermediate certificate changes name throughout, as does the name of GDCA. Three certs in an appendix are replaced with others. Other than that, the only changes are these: https://gist.github.com/gerv/fc311785c49c7fdfdfba78d6d5ad4aa9 This seems like an odd change, removing specificity about how domain validation is done. This change was _added_ to the Chinese version of 3.2.5 between 4.1 and 4.2, and moved to section 3.2.7 in version 4.3. So how does going from 4.1 to 4.3 in the English version lead to it being removed? The differences between the first 4.3 and the second one are much more extensive. So I'd say the questions for GDCA are these: * When you were asked to produce a version of your CPS matching Chinese version 4.3, within a day you came up with: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8795091 That clearly doesn't match Chinese version 4.3, and yet it has "version 4.3" written in it. And the effective date marked within it is one month _earlier_ than the effective date of the Chinese 4.3. How did this happen? How did such a document come to exist with such a version number and date attached, when it is so massively different from the real 4.3, and so similar to the previous 4.1? * You say you only translated the relevant bits rather than all of it, which is why there is a discrepancy, but the diff between 4.1 and the first version of 4.3 reveals no additions, only one deletion. How does that fit? Gerv ___ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy

If they were not trying to hide something and just need a lesson in version control, that is not necessarily something which disqualifies, although it does give one concern. I believe their overall excuses can be rephrased as: 1. The previous Mozilla policy guidance only requiring a partial translation. Mozilla has since fixed that, though I can't find the posting that mentioned that document fix. 2. Sloppy translation work, including sloppyness when trying to quickly update the 4.1 translation to match the 4.3 Chinese documents. 3. At the time, the English translations were not version controlled, only the Chinese versions. They have promised to change this for the next version, where they will even request an outside audit of the translation. 4. That consistent pair of a new CP/CPS in Chinese and English has not been posted yet, indicating that Mozilla will just have to put the inclusion request on hold until then.

On 2015.8.20, we uploaded the English Version 4.1 to bugzilla for the first time, and section 3.2.5 was translated from the Chinese version CPS 4.1. On 2015.10.22, Kathleen pointed out that section 3.2.5 " Domain name recognition and identification" could not meet the requirements of Mozilla. Therefore, on 2015.11.17, we submitted a new English Version 4.1 with modified section 3.2.5. However, due to the negligence of our employee, the submitted English Version 4.3 on 2016.9.26 was revised based on the English version 4.1 of 2015.8.20. In the submitted English Version 4.3 on 2016.10.28, this mistake was found and solved. For the question that "the Chinese version of 3.2.5 between 4.1 and 4.2 moved to section 3.2.7 in version 4.3", this is because we added section 3.2.5 " Authentication of SSL Server Identity" and section 3.2.6 " Authentication of CodeSigning Identity".

We did the translation work to the best of our knowledge. However, there may still be some improper translation because of time limit. Please kindly point out if there is any error, propose any question or offer suggestions for us to make further improvements in the next revision. We will devote our best effort to do it better!
