Public Discussion of Cybertrust Japan / JCSI CA Inclusion Request

[Chris Clements]

All,

This email commences a six-week public discussion of Cybertrust Japan / JCSI’s request to include the following three (3) certificates as publicly trusted root certificates in one or more CCADB Root Store Operator’s program. This discussion period is scheduled to close on June 21, 2024.

The purpose of this public discussion process is to promote openness and transparency. However, each Root Store makes its inclusion decisions independently, on its own timelines, and based on its own inclusion criteria. Successful completion of this public discussion process does not guarantee any favorable action by any Root Store.  

Anyone with concerns or questions is urged to raise them on this CCADB Public list by replying directly in this discussion thread. Likewise, a representative of the applicant must promptly respond directly in the discussion thread to all questions that are posted.

On May 10, 2024, we began a six-week, public discussion[1] on the request from Cybertrust Japan / JCSI for inclusion of its root certificate(s):

• SecureSign Root CA12

• SecureSign Root CA14

• SecureSign Root CA15

The public discussion period has now ended.

We did not receive any objections or other questions or comments in opposition to Cybertrust Japan / JCSI’s request. We thank the community for its review and consideration during this period. Root Store Programs will make final inclusion decisions independently, on their own timelines, and based on each Root Store Member’s inclusion criteria. Further discussion may take place in the independently managed Root Store community forums (i.e., MDSP).
