Issue X: Incomplete RA Program Remediation (February - March 2017)

The only Symantec RAs capable of authorizing and issuing publicly trusted

Symantec continues to maintain a partner program for non-TLS certificates. 
E-Sign SA and MSC Trustgate are amongst these partners.



Please note that the Mozilla root program covers both SSL/TLS and
e-mail certificates (with slightly different inclusion policies).

Thus while the CABF BR rules may not apply to e-mail certificates,
Mozilla root program requirements do apply to such certificates and the
roots that are trusted to issue them.

That seems pretty clear. Perhaps Steve will be able to comment.

Sure, but then such activities would not be audited or part of its CP/CPS,
as that would be handled by the issuing CA that performs these roles.

https://www.msctrustgate.com/pdf/MSC%20Trustgate%20CPS%2001OCT2012%20V3%203%208%20final.pdf

Which has Symantec's logo on it. And states

"At this time, the domain-validated and organization-validated SSL
Certificates issued by MSC
Trustgate.com CAs under this CP are governed by the CABF Requirements. "

Further, its CPS states

"MSC Trustgate.com is a “Processing Center,” as described in CP §

means MSC Trustgate.com has established a secure facility housing, among

Yep, OK.

E-Sign's CPS URL is given in its audit statement as:
https://www.e-sign.cl/uploads/cps_esign_388.pdf

Grepping that document for "TLS" gives no hits. Can you help me some more?

E-sign appear to be a Symantec SSL reseller:
https://www.e-sign.cl/soluciones/seguridad
but of course, I'm sure many companies are, and that's not necessarily a
problem.

MSC Trustgate's audit statement gives no CPS URL.
https://cert.webtrust.org/SealFile?seal=2127=pdf

However, it certainly appears to be true that this company offers a
"Managed PKI for SSL" product:
https://www.msctrustgate.com/pdf/ManagedPKIforSSL_Agreement.pdf
and that they offer "VeriSign Class 3 organizational SSL Certificate"s,
and lets organizations apply for RA status within the Verisign Trust
Network.
The modification date of that document according to the webserver is
15th March 2012.

https://www.msctrustgate.com/product/ssl_id.htm also shows this.

They also have a Subscriber Agreement for SSL certificates:
https://www.msctrustgate.com/pdf/Class%203%20Organizational%20Certificate%20latest%20pdf.pdf
which are also "Symantec Class 3 organizational SSL Certificate"s.

The "Buy", "Renew" etc. links on the front page of
https://www.msctrustgate.com/ for SSL certs are all 404. According to
archive.org, they may have been that way for some time. Odd...

Steve?

The audits mention the CP/CPS has been evaluated as part of the scope of
the audit.

The CP/CPS mentions the issuance of TLS certificates as part of the
hierarchy. For example,

"E-Sign provides its services in accordance with its Certificate Policy and
Certification Practices Statement"

The audits linked to from the wiki page relating to E-Sign and MSC
TrustGate don't seem to have any mention of TLS certificates. Can you
explain which audits you are referring to above that do mention them?

This is a good question.
