[Discussion Period Begins] Ballot SMC08: Deprecate Legacy Generation Profiles and Minor Updates

[Stephen Davidson]

Ballot SMC08: Deprecate Legacy Generation Profiles and Minor Updates

 

Summary:

 

The S/MIME Baseline Requirements include a set of Legacy profiles designed to ease the transition into an audited framework, with the expectation that those Legacy profiles would be deprecated.  This ballot sets a date by which issuance of certificates following the Legacy generation profiles must cease.  It also includes the following minor updates:

 

•                     Pins the domain validation procedures to v 2.0.5 of the TLS Baseline Requirements while the ballot activity for multi-perspective validation is concluded, and the SMCWG determines its corresponding course of action;

•                     Updates the reference for SmtpUTF8Mailbox from RFC 8398 to RFC 9598; and

•                     Small text corrections in the Reference section

 

This ballot is proposed by Stephen Davidson (DigiCert) and endorsed by Clint Wilson (Apple) and Martijn Katerbarg (Sectigo).

 

— Motion Begins —

 

This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted S/MIME Certificates” (“S/MIME Baseline Requirements”), based on Version 1.0.5.
