For Ryan’s comment on section 9.14 and 9.16.3 of NBP’s CPS, NBP would have stipulated an issue in section 9.14 and I would have notified it to CA Browser Forum in advance if there had been national laws and regulations which affect certificates revocation in our territory. However, we found that there are no South Korea’s laws and regulations which affect or refuse the revocation of certificates that violated the BRs issued by a commercial CA. A certificate that violated the BRs, but was not revoked according to relevant legislation, has not happened since NBP started providing certificate services. > Note that, in this case, the particular language you're concerned about is > part of the BRs themselves, in 4.9.5.

I agree on the above Ryan’s comment. NBP will exclude the criteria that CA should consider to select the revocation time in section 4.9.3 and add them in Section 4.9.5. As NBP complies with the laws of the Republic of Korea, the following will be added in section 9.14 of NBP CPS. “This CPS is governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Republic of Korea. This choice of law is made to ensure uniform interpretation of this CPS, regardless of the place of residence or place of use of NAVER BUSINESS PLATFORM Certificates or other products and services. The law of Republic of Korea applies also to all NAVER BUSINESS PLATFORM commercial or contractual relationships in which this CPS may apply or quoted implicitly or explicitly in relation to NAVER BUSINESS PLATFORM products and services where NAVER BUSINESS PLATFORM acts as a provider, supplier, beneficiary receiver or otherwise." > > I also noticed that the "All verification activities" type of event is > > not recorded, or at least not documented as such.

Actually, NBP records all verification activities as well as other events stipulated in BRs section 5.4.1. I think that all verification activities is included in NBP CPS, section 5.4.1 Certificate lifecycle-related event. However, as Matthias mentioned, it may not look clearly. I would consider modifying the CPS section according to BRs section if it's necessary to avoid ambiguity. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
