*********
Ballot 193 - 825-day Certificate Lifetimes (REVISED v2 – March 2, 2017)
Purpose of Ballot: Recent Ballot 185 demonstrated a consensus among Forum
members to reduce the maximum lifetime for DV and OV certificates from 39
months to 825 days (roughly 27 months). This ballot reflects that consensus,
and also reduces the maximum period for reuse of vetting data for DV and OV
certificates from 39 months to 27 months.
The following motion has been proposed by Chris Bailey of Entrust Datacard and
endorsed by the following CA/B Forum member representatives (listed in
alphabetical order) Robin Alden of Comodo, Ben Wilson of DigiCert, and Doug
Beattie of GlobalSign to introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines for the
"Baseline Requirements Certificate Policy for the Issuance and Management of
Publicly-Trusted Certificates" (Baseline Requirements) and the "Guidelines for
the Issuance and Management of Extended Validation Certificates" (EV
Guidelines).
-- MOTION BEGINS --
BR 4.2.1. Performing Identification and Authentication Functions
The certificate request MAY include all factual information about the Applicant
to be included in the Certificate, and such additional information as is
necessary for the CA to obtain from the Applicant in order to comply with these
Requirements and the CA’s Certificate Policy and/or Certification Practice
Statement. In cases where the certificate request does not contain all the
necessary information about the Applicant, the CA SHALL obtain the remaining
information from the Applicant or, having obtained it from a reliable,
independent, third‐party data source, confirm it with the Applicant. The CA
SHALL establish and follow a documented procedure for verifying all data
requested for inclusion in the Certificate by the Applicant.
Applicant information MUST include, but not be limited to, at least one
Fully‐Qualified Domain Name or IP address to be included in the Certificate’s
SubjectAltName extension.
Section 6.3.2 limits the validity period of Subscriber Certificates. The CA MAY
use the documents and data provided in Section 3.2 to verify certificate
information, provided that the CA obtained the data or document from a source
specified under Section 3.2 no more than 825 days thirty‐nine (39) months prior
to issuing the Certificate.
The CA SHALL develop, maintain, and implement documented procedures that
identify and require additional verification activity for High Risk Certificate
Requests prior to the Certificate’s approval, as reasonably necessary to ensure
that such requests are properly verified under these Requirements.
If a Delegated Third Party fulfills any of the CA’s obligations under this
section, the CA SHALL verify that the process used by the Delegated Third Party
to identify and further verify High Risk Certificate Requests provides at least
the same level of assurance as the CA’s own processes.
BR 6.3.2. Certificate Operational Periods and Key Pair Usage Periods
Subscriber Certificates issued after March 1, 2018 the Effective Date MUST have
a Validity Period no greater than 825 days 60 months. Subscriber Certificates
issued after 1 July 2016 April 2015 but prior to 1 March 2018 MUST NOT have a
Validity Period no greater than thirty-nine (39) months.
Except as provided for below, Subscriber Certificates issued after 1 April 2015
MUST have a Validity Period no greater than 39 months.
Until 30 June 2016, CAs MAY continue to issue Subscriber Certificates with a
Validity Period greater than 39 months but not greater than 60 months provided
that the CA documents that the Certificate is for a system or software that:
(a) was in use prior to the Effective Date;
(b) is currently in use by either the Applicant or a substantial number of
Relying Parties;
(c) fails to operate if the Validity Period is shorter than 60 months;
(d) does not contain known security risks to Relying Parties; and
(e) is difficult to patch or replace without substantial economic outlay.
EVGL 9.4. Maximum Validity Period For EV Certificate
The validity period for an EV Certificate SHALL NOT exceed 825 days twenty
seven months. It is RECOMMENDED that EV Subscriber Certificates have a maximum
validity period of twelve months.
