Issue X: Incomplete RA Program Remediation (February - March 2017)
The only Symantec RAs capable of authorizing and issuing publicly trusted
SSL/TLS certificates are: CrossCert, Certisign, Certsuperior and Certisur.
Symantec continues to maintain a partner program for non-TLS certificates.
Issue T: RA Program Misissuances (January 2010 - January 2017)
Program Background:
Symantec has operated an RA program designed to deliver a superior customer
experience in global markets where language skills, understanding of local
business requirements, and physical local presence are
rocess to terminate the
agreements with both partners. One partner has ceased issuance of new
certificates and the other will stop as of September 30, 2016. In both cases,
Symantec will permit continued use of the subordinate CAs solely for the
purpose of signing CRLs through November 30, 201
Issue R: Insecure Issuance API (2013 or earlier - November 2016)
In April 2015, security consultant Chris Byrne responsibly disclosed two
potential vulnerabilities related to our Quick Invite feature, which enables a
reseller to invite pre-selected customers to enroll for certificates, via
Issue P: UniCredit Sub CA Failing To Follow BRs (April - October 2016)
We are committed to keeping our customers, partners and ecosystem informed and
taking action when necessary. We recognize that there are issues we are
accountable for, such as our March 2016 CA Communication response
Issue Q: Symantec Audit Issues 2016 (December 2015 - November 2016)
In our 2014-2015 audits, certain issues were identified that we promptly took
action on, including addressing the test certificate incident. We continued
these efforts until the Point in Time audit was conducted. We split the
Issue L: Cross-Signing the US Federal Bridge (February 2011 - July 2016)
Symantec, as well as VeriSign, has participated in the FPKI since 2006, and we
take our responsibility as a participant of this program very seriously. When
Symantec began participating in FPKI, FPKI rules required two-way
Issue N: Premature Manual Signing Using SHA-1 (July 2016)
This matter represents the first time any CA attempted to follow the exception
process which was developed over the course of weeks, beginning at the Bilbao
CABF face-to-face meeting in May 2016, and with the input of our partners.
Issue E: Domain Validation Vulnerability (October 2015)
With respect to Issue E, Symantec has no additional comments regarding the
perspective outlined in the summary. Please see
Issue H: SHA-1 Issuance After Deadline (January 2016)
With respect to Issue H, Symantec has no additional comments regarding the
perspective outlined in the summary. Please see

detail on Symantec's previous commentary

In the case of CrossCert, where we have evidence of failure to properly
document their work, we are NOT relying on their previous work and have begun

our focus is reviewing all of the work previously done to verify

Are CAs really not monitoring issuance of certs by their sub-CAs for simple
violations like this? Does this not violate a Mozilla or CAB Forum
policy? Should it?

The other reason is that Root Stores generally place a limit on the number of
Roots which can be entered so CA's need to be able to maximize their usage,
especially where we are today with ongoing transitions in cryptography
standards and key sizes.
I hope that helps.
