Subject: [cabfpub] Ballot 201 - .onion Revisions
Ballot 201 - .Onion Revisions
This ballot is meant to cure any potential problems with Ballot 198, which may
have been invalid due to ambiguities in what was presented to the Forum for
vote. This Ballot 201 attempts to clarify Appendix F of the EV Guidelines
concerning the Tor Service Descriptor Hash extension and 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 Wayne Thayer of GoDaddy to introduce new
Final Maintenance Guidelines for the "Guidelines for the Issuance and
Management of Extended Validation Certificates" (EV Guidelines).
Attached is a PDF with a redline showing how Appendix F of the current EV
Guidelines will be amended.
-- MOTION BEGINS --
Part 1:
The CA/Browser Forum, recognizing that Ballot 198 did not include a redline
version against the current Final Maintenance Guidelines, thereby constitutes
an invalid Ballot. As a consequence, the Forum agrees that the changes shall
not be made to the appropriate Final Maintenance Guideline, and as such, no IPR
Review Notice is in force for Ballot 198:
Part 2:
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 with .onion in the right-most label of the
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 CA MUST include the CAB Forum Tor Service Descriptor Hash in 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 }
SEQUENCE ( 1..MAX ) of TorServiceDescriptorHash
TorServiceDescriptorHash:: = SEQUENCE {
onionURI UTF8String
algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier
subjectPublicKeyHash BIT STRING
}
Where the AlgorithmIdentifier is a hashing algorithm (defined in RFC 6234)
performed over the DER-encoding of an ASN.1 SubjectPublicKey of the .onion
service and SubjectPublicKeyHash is the hash output.
--Motion Ends--
The procedure for approval of this Final Maintenance Guideline ballot is as
follows (exact start and end times may be adjusted to comply with applicable
Bylaws and IPR Agreement):
BALLOT 201 Status: Final Maintenance Guideline Start time (22:00
UTC) End time (22:00 UTC)
Discussion (7 to 14 days)
May 25, 2017 June 1, 2017
Vote for approval (7 days)
June 1, 2017 June 8, 2017
If a vote of the Forum approves this ballot, the Chair will initiate a 30-day
IPR Review Period by sending out an IPR Review Notice.
After 30 days of announcing the IPR Review period by the Chair:
If Exclusion Notice(s) are filed, this ballot approval is rescinded and a PAG
will be created; or If no Exclusion Notices are filed, this ballot becomes
effective at end of the IPR Review Period. From Bylaw 2.3: If the Draft
Guideline Ballot is proposing a Final Maintenance Guideline, such ballot will
include a redline or comparison showing the set of changes from the Final
Guideline section(s) intended to become a Final Maintenance Guideline, and need
not include a copy of the full set of guidelines. Such redline or comparison
shall be made against the Final Guideline section(s) as they exist at the time
a ballot is proposed, and need not take into consideration other ballots that
may be proposed subsequently, except as provided in Bylaw Section 2.3(j).
Votes must be cast by posting an on-list reply to this thread on the Public
list. A vote in favor of the motion must indicate a clear 'yes' in the
response. A vote against must indicate a clear 'no' in the response. A vote to
abstain must indicate a clear 'abstain' in the response. Unclear responses will
not be counted. The latest vote received from any representative of a voting
member before the close of the voting period will be counted. Voting members
are listed here: https://cabforum.org/members/
In order for the motion to be adopted, two thirds or more of the votes cast by
members in the CA category and greater than 50% of the votes cast by members in
the browser category must be in favor. Quorum is half of the number of
currently active Members, which is the average number of Member organizations
that have participated in the previous three Forum-wide meetings (both
teleconferences and face-to-face meetings). Under Bylaw 2.2(g), at least the
required quorum number must participate in the ballot for the ballot to be
valid, either by voting in favor, voting against, or abstaining.
