Ballot 198 – .Onion Revisions
Appendix F of the EV Guidelines in unclear on what a CA does with the
Tor Service Descriptor Hash extension. This ballot clarifies that
inclusion of the extension in the TBSCertificate is required.
The following motion has been proposed by Jeremy Rowley of DigiCert
and endorsed by Ryan Sleevi of Google and Erwann Abalea of DocuSign
France to introduce new Final Maintenance Guidelines for the
"Guidelines for the Issuance and Management of Extended Validation
Certificates" (EV Guidelines).
-- MOTION BEGINS –
Revise Appendix F, Section 1 to read as follows:
*Appendix F – Issuance of Certificates for .onion Domain Names*
A CA may issue an EV Certificate containing the .onion Domain Name
provided that issuance complies with the requirements set forth in
this Appendix:
1. CAB Forum Tor Service Descriptor Hash extension (2.23.140.1.31)
The CAB Forum extension in of the TBSCertificate to convey hashes of
keys related to .onion addresses. The CA MUST include the Tor Service
Descriptor Hash extension using the following format:
cabf-TorServiceDescriptorHash OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2.23.140.1.31 }
TorServiceDescriptorHash:: = SEQUENCE {
algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier
subjectPublicKeyHash BIT STRING }
Where the AlgorithmIdentifier is a hashing algorithm (defined in RFC
6234) performed over the raw Public Key of the .onion service and
SubjectPublicKeyHash is the value of the hash output of the raw Public
Key.
