Re: SSL.com root inclusion request

2017-10-12 Thread Andrew R. Whalley via dev-security-policy
Greetings,

I have reviewed SSLcom_CP_CPS_Version_1_2_1 and made the following notes:

1.3.

CA diagrams are useful, thanks.

1.3.2

"SSL.com may delegate the performance of *all or any* part of these
requirements to a Delegated Third Party" though the BRs preclude sections
3.2.2.4 and 3.2.2.5. - See ballot 215 which hopes to clear up any confusion
on this topic.

1.3.2.1

"may contractually authorize the Subject of a specified Valid EV
Certificate to perform the RA function and authorize SSL.com to issue
additional EV Certificates at *third and higher domain levels* that are
contained within the domain of the original EV Certificate"

This assumes the number of labels in domains appearing in the Public Suffix
List, which is inadvisable.

1.5.5

SSL.com CP/CPS annual review:  Might be worth making it explicit that there
will be a CP/CPS version number bump even if there is no change, per
Mozilla Root Store Policy v 2.5 §3.3

3.2.2.4

"SSL.com shall confirm that, as of the date the Certificate issuance,
either SSL.com *or a Delegated Third Party* has validated each
Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) listed in the Certificate using at least
one of the methods listed below."

Section 1.3.2 of the BRs prohibits Delegated Third Parties from carrying
out procedures under §3.2.2.4 (even though it is allowed in this section of
the BRs) - See ballot 215 which hopes to clear up any confusion on this
topic.

3.2.4

"SSL.com does not verify information contained in the Organization Unit
(OU) field in any certificate request"

Section 7.1.4.2.1 of the BRs states: "The CA SHALL implement a process that
prevents an OU attribute from including a name, DBA, tradename, trademark,
address, location, or other text that refers to a specific natural person
or Legal Entity unless the CA has verified this information in accordance
with Section 3.2 and the Certificate also contains
subject:organizationName, , subject:givenName, subject:surname,
subject:localityName, and subject:countryName attributes, also verified in
accordance with Section 3.2.2.1."

4.9.2

"Non-Subscribers meeting one or more of the criteria given in Section 4.9.1"

It's not immediately clear what non-subscribers are referred to in in §4.9.1

7.1.2.2

"f. nameConstraints (optional)

If present, this extension should not be marked critical*."

Though it's a SHOULD, it's worth noting the BRs say "SHOULD NOT be marked
critical."

"It is forbidden for Intermediate CAs to issue end-entity Certificates
which blend the serverAuth (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1), emailProtection
(1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2) and codeSigning (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3) extended key
usages."

Good

9.12.1/2

"Minor changes (e.g. correction of grammatical, syntactical, spelling
errors) may, at SSL.com's sole discretion, be carried out without any prior
notice and without OID modification."

Even if the version number isn't changed, it would be good to ensure all
modifications, however minor, are listed in the Version Control table of
§1.2.1

Cheers,

Andrew

Re: TrustCor root inclusion request

2017-08-10 Thread Andrew R. Whalley via dev-security-policy
Greetings,

I have reviewed TrustCor's CP and CPS (both at version 1.3.1) and made the
following notes:

*CP* (http://www.trustcor.ca/resources/cp.pdf)

1.6.3
1.6.4
Nit:
Section 1.1 says that "Sections which do not apply to TrustCor CA, or where
TrustCor CA makes no authoritative statement, will have either the text “No
stipulation” or “Not Applicable”." but these sections are just blank.

3.3.1
"Level 2 Client certificates - demonstration of a pre-shared key and OTP
validation as described in Section 3.2.3 is sufficient to allow re- key."
however section 3.2.3 makes no mention of pre-shared key and OTP validation.

4.4.2 Publication of the certificate by the CA
Note that is at odds with any future CT requirement.

6.1.5
"OCSP responses may respond using the SHA-1 hash if the request used
SHA-1," Signing of OCSP responses with SHA1 is prohibited by the BRs
(section 7.1.3) after 1st Jan 2017 - though section 7.1.3 does state that
TrustCor does not, and never has, used SHA-1 as a component of any
signature algorithm on a certificate.

6.1.6
This section references version 1.3.0 of the BRs, which date from 2015.

*CPS* (http://www.trustcor.ca/resources/cps.pdf)

1.4.1
The maximum validity of the different certificate types, while within
what's allowed by the BRs, aren't consistent with the limits specified in
section 6.3.2 of the CP (e.g. 12 months vs 398 days).

2.2
https://catest1-revoked.trustcor.ca/ is not resolving.
https://catest1-expired.trustcor.ca/ is not resolving.
https://catest2-revoked.trustcor.ca/ is not resolving.
https://catest2-expired.trustcor.ca/ is not resolving.

2.2.1
Commitment to make incident reports public - very good.
(Note that at the moment
https://www.trustcor.ca/resources/issuance-incidents/ currently just
redirects to the home page)

3.2.2.4.7
Presuming "TrustCor will the authoritative DNS servers" should be "TrustCor
will *query* the authoritative DNS servers"

3.2.2.8
Fail shut CAA - good

3.2.6
While it's good that TrustCor will publish cross-signed certificates it
issues to other CAs, my understanding of section 3.2.6 of the BRs is that
it requires cross certifications that a CA obtains from other CAs (i.e.
where it is the Subject of the cert) to be published.

4.9.1.1
Even though section 4.9.2 states that a subscriber can request revocation
of their certificate, 4.9.1.1 does not list a subscriber request as a
reason for revocation.

4.9.1.2
I would like to hope that there are technical, not just business, controls
in place to limit the actions an "insufficiently aware staff member" could
perform.

7.1.2.2
Section 7.1.2.2 of the BRs states "certificatePolicies - This extension
MUST be present and SHOULD NOT be marked critical." for Subordinate CA
Certificates, however this section implies that certificatePolicies is only
specified for Enterprise Subordinate CAs.

7.1.2.3
For the Secure Mail profiles, the subjectAlternativeName is defined as
containing an "emailAddress". Should this not be rfc822Name?

7.1.2.4
It seems odd that this section references itself and 7.1.2.5.  Where these
meant to be 7.1.2.2 and 7.1.2.3?

The CP requires the subject key identifier and authority key identifier
extensions, but these are not specified in the cert profiles in the CPS.

7.1.6.3
This seems at odds with 7.1.2.2 of the BRs.

Those comments aside, I found both documents clear, well written, and they
provided sufficient detail to assess the policies in place.

Many thanks,

Andrew

Any certs issued by any Symantec CA, regardless of brand, unless the CA is
operated by a 3rd party under its own, separate, audit.

*required for the cert to be trusted in Chrome.  They are still free to
issue certs that don't comply with the Chrome CT Policy, but those will
cause an interstitial warning in Chrome.

Re: Guang Dong Certificate Authority (GDCA) root inclusion request

2017-05-09 Thread Andrew R. Whalley via dev-security-policy
Greetings,

I've given the CP V1.6 and CPS V4.5 docs a quick looking through and have
the following comments:

* Please don't protect your PDFs for printing

* https://SSLTEST-2.95105813.cn - which I believe should be revoked, has
also expired.  The revoked test cert should be otherwise valid and not
expired.

* While there is mention of how CAA records are dealt with in section
4.2.4, it doesn't seem to specify what value is expected to be present in
the record for the check to pass.

* 3.2.7. 域名的确认和鉴别 Domain name recognition and identification - This section
references BR version v1.4.1. Version 1.4.4 is current and has changes in
the section numbers referred to here.  (Also see versions under IPR review
on the CAB Forum website)

* 7.1 Certificate profile: There is no mention of how the serial number is
generated. The BRs specify "Effective September 30, 2016, CAs SHALL
generate non‐sequential Certificate serial numbers greater than zero (0)
containing at least 64 bits of output from a CSPRNG."

* CP 7.1.3 says "The cryptographic algorithm identifiers of certificates
issued by GDCA include sha1RSA, sha256RSA and sha256ECDSA".  SHA1
signatures must not be used in any part of the publically trusted hierarchy.

* CP 7.1.5 on "Name Constraints" looks like it's referring to 3.1.2 "Need
for names to be meaningful".  This section is meant to refer to RFC 5280
section 4.2.1.10 name constraints.

* CPS Appendix1: Certificate information of the publicly trusted CAs: Most
of the listed CAs can't be found in crt.sh - it would be great to get them
CT logged.

* Only GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT (SHA-1 Fingerprint
0F:36:38:5B:81:1A:25:C3:9B:31:4E:83:CA:E9:34:66:70:CC:74:B4) seems to have
been disclosed in Mozilla's CCADB.

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: Include Renewed Kamu SM root certificate

2017-03-03 Thread Andrew R. Whalley via dev-security-policy
Hello,

I've read though the English language version of CP/CPS dated March 30,
2016 version 1 and made the following notes:

No version history at the front of the document.  This not required, but is
evidence of good document change management and is a useful reference to
see what's changed when coming back to reviewing docs.

1.2 Document Name and Identification

Document version number is 3, but the front page and headers say version
1.  Please clarify.

3.1.5 Uniqueness of Names

CN Field: Note that use of the common name is deprecated.

3.2.2 Authentication of Organization Identity

This section states "WHOIS records pertinent to domain name specified in
the certificate application shall be verified via 'www.nic.tr'". It would
be useful to have more detail on the validation method. See section 3.2.2.4
of the Baseline Requirements.

4.9.3 Procedure for Revocation Request

The Baseline Requirements for this section state: "The CA SHALL provide
Subscribers, Relying Parties, Application Software Suppliers, and other
third parties with clear instructions for reporting suspected Private Key
Compromise, Certificate misuse, or other types of fraud, compromise,
misuse, inappropriate conduct, or any other matter related to Certificates.
The CA SHALL publicly disclose the instructions through a readily
accessible online means."

As such instructions aren't included in the CP/CPS, could you point to
where they can be found?

6.5.1 Specific Computer Security Technical Requirements

Please make sure use of anti virus is properly risk managed. There have
been a worrying number of high severity bugs in popular anti virus
software, including privileged remote code execution.

7.2.2 CRL and CRL Entry Extensions

Though optional, CRL reason codes are encouraged.

9.4.3 Information Not Deemed Private

The contents of publicly trusted certificates should always be treated as
public even if such a an agreement or contract is in place.

10.3 End Entity SSL Certificate Template

For Serial Number, a unique number is insufficient, per BRs "CAs SHALL
generate non‐sequential Certificate serial numbers greater than zero (0)
containing at least 64 bits of output from a CSPRNG."

--

Overall the document was clear and well written and didn't contain anything
too worrying.

Cheers,

Andrew
