GlobalSign votes "YES" on Ballot SC-067 V3
Doug From: Servercert-wg <servercert-wg-boun...@cabforum.org> On Behalf Of Chris Clements via Servercert-wg Sent: Monday, July 15, 2024 11:30 AM To: CA/B Forum Server Certificate WG Public Discussion List <servercert-wg@cabforum.org> Subject: [Servercert-wg] Voting Period Begins - Ballot SC-067 V3: "Require domain validation and CAA checks to be performed from multiple Network Perspectives" Purpose of Ballot SC-067 V3: This Ballot proposes updates to the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted TLS Server Certificates (i.e., TLS BRs) related to “Multi-Perspective Issuance Corroboration” (“MPIC”). Background: - MPIC refers to performing domain validation and CAA checks from multiple Network Perspectives before certificate issuance, as described within the Ballot for the applicable validation methods in TLS BR Sections 3.2.2.4 and 3.2.2.5. - Not all methods described in TLS BR Sections 3.2.2.4 and 3.2.2.5 will require using MPIC. - This work was most recently motivated by research presented at Face-to-Face 58 [1] by Princeton University, but has been discussed for years prior as well. - The goal of this proposal is to make it more difficult for adversaries to successfully launch equally-specific prefix attacks against the domain validation processes described in the TLS BRs. - Additional background information can be found in an update shared at Face-to-Face 60 [2]. Benefits of Adoption: - Recent publicly-documented attacks have used BGP hijacks to fool domain control validation and obtain malicious certificates, which led to the impersonation of HTTPS websites [3][4]. - Routing security defenses (e.g., RPKI) can mitigate the risk of global BGP attacks, but localized, equally-specific BGP attacks still pose a significant threat to the Web PKI [5][6]. - Corroborating domain control validation checks from multiple network perspectives (i.e., MPIC) spread across the Internet substantially reduces the threat posed by equally-specific BGP attacks, ensuring the integrity of domain validation and issuance decisions [5][7][8]. - Existing deployments of MPIC at the scale of millions of certificates a day demonstrate the feasibility of this technique at Internet scale [7][9]. Intellectual Property (IP) Disclosure: - While not a Server Certificate Working Group Member, researchers from Princeton University presented at Face-to-Face 58, provided academic expertise, and highlighted publicly-available peer-reviewed research to support Members in drafting this ballot. - The Princeton University researchers indicate that they have not filed for any patents relating to their MPIC work and do not plan to do so in the future. - Princeton University has indicated that it is unable to agree to the CA/Browser Forum IPR agreement because it could encumber inventions invented by researchers not involved in the development of MPIC or with the CA/B Forum. - Princeton University has instead provided the attached IPR statement. Pursuant to the IPR statement, Princeton University has granted a worldwide royalty free license to the intellectual property in MPIC developed by the researchers and has made representations regarding its lack of knowledge of any other Princeton intellectual property needed to implement MPIC. - The attached IPR statement has not changed since disclosed in Discussion Round 1. - For clarity, Princeton University’s IPR statement is NOT intended to replace the Forum’s IPR agreement or allow Princeton to participate in the Forum in any capacity. - Members seeking legal advice regarding this ballot should consult their own counsel. Proposal Revision History: - Pre-Ballot Release #1 (work team artifacts and broader Validation Subcommittee collaboration) [10] - Pre-Ballot Release #2 [11] Previous versions of this Ballot: - Ballot Release #1 [12] (comparing Version 2 to Version 1) [13]. Note, some of the changes represented in the comparison are updates made by other ballots that have since passed (e.g., SC-069). - Ballot Release #2 [14] (comparing Version 3 to Version 2) [15]. Note, some of the changes represented in the comparison are updates made by other ballots that have since passed (e.g., SC-072).
