Revocation Delay Report
Process
- Informed of the problematic certificate
During the CP/CPS review period, Wayne informed SHECA about the problematic 
certificates.

-Informing subscriber
SHECA checked out the subscriber, informed them immediately.
These two certificates belong to a same financial service institution, which 
has very strict risk control requirement. These two certificates are used in 
their website of main business. 

-Communication
Subscriber agree to replace these two certificate, but strongly urge the 
revocation can only be done during the system update window in holiday. Since 
revocation and replacement of these two certificates cause affect to their 
service operation.  
We understand their concern and try our best to minimize the effect to 
subscriber. So we start to evaluate the risk and forming a delay revocation 
plan.

-Evaluation
SHECA performed a research of the reason, and conducted an incident report. 
The issue of these two certificates is IP Addresses encoded as DNS Name type in 
the SAN, this is a manual mi-soperation. The risk is much lower than risk of 
weak key, private key compromise etc. But this issue still not compliant with 
requirement of CABF and may cause risk to the security level of the certificate.
We informed subscriber of the Risk Evaluation result, but subscriber insist the 
priority level is not high enough, and won’t stop the system operation only for 
revoking the problematic certificates. 

-Plan
SHECA should notify subscriber of the risk repeatedly every week and ask for 
agree of revocation.
Concerning the risk of relying parties and operation risk of SHECA, SHECA plan 
to send final notification in early September and revoke in one week after 
sending the notification.
_________________________________________________________________________

SHECA performed all these process since informed of the issue, we try very hard 
to convince the subscriber to co-operate without effect their business.
We sent the final notification today and received reply this afternoon. 
The subscriber finally agree to revoke the certificate this week, we will 
update the status once it’s revoked.
