Hello Dimitris,
As I read the definition of “Linting”, it seems that the use of a manual (human reviewed) process is within the allowed methodologies. I think more clarity should be added to require an automated/software linting process over a possible human-reviewed process, if not for all certificates, then at least for subscriber certs. Regards, Tom SSL.com From: Servercert-wg <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA) via Servercert-wg Sent: Monday, May 20, 2024 12:57 PM To: CA/B Forum Server Certificate WG Public Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: [Servercert-wg] Ballot SC-75 - Pre-sign linting SC-75 Pre-sign linting Summary There have been numerous compliance incidents publicly disclosed by CAs in which they failed to comply with the technical requirements described in standards associated with the issuance and management of publicly-trusted TLS Certificates. However, the industry has developed open-source tools, linters, that are free to use and can help CAs avoid certificate misissuance. Using such linters before issuing a precertificate from a Publicly-Trusted CA (pre-issuance linting) can prevent the mis-issuance in a wide variety of cases. The following motion has been proposed by Dimitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA and endorsed by Corey Bonnell of Digicert and Ben Wilson of Mozilla. You can view the GitHub pull request representing this ballot here <https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/518> .
