All,

Based on the request prioritization process outlined here - https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Prioritization, this is to announce the beginning of the public discussion phase of the Mozilla root CA process (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Application_Process#Process_Overview (Steps 4 through 9) to EV-enable two 2015 HARICA roots and to add four HARICA 2021 roots to the root store, as outlined below. 


These inclusion applications have been tracked in the CCADB and in Bugzilla as follows:  

EV-Enable two HARICA 2015 Root CAs - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1690054

https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozilla/PrintViewForCase?CaseNumber=00000713

Two 2021 TLS Rootshttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1695487

https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozilla/PrintViewForCase?CaseNumber=00000730

Two 2021 SMIME Roots https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1695486

https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozilla/PrintViewForCase?CaseNumber=00000729


The roots involved are as follows: 

Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2015 (EV enablement requested)

Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015 (EV enablement requested)

HARICA TLS RSA Root CA 2021 (websites bit and EV enablement)

HARICA TLS ECC Root CA 2021 (websites bit and EV enablement)

HARICA Client RSA Root CA 2021 (email bit)

HARICA Client ECC Root CA 2021 (email bit)

Mozilla is considering approving HARICA’s requests. This email begins a 3-week comment period, after which, if no concerns are raised, we will close the discussion and the request may proceed to the approval phase (Step 10).

CP/CPS:   

Current CPS is Version 4.4 /  May 5, 2021 - https://repo.harica.gr/documents/CPS-EN.pdf

Recent CPS review - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1695487#c6

Repository location:   https://repo.harica.gr/documents/CPS


Audits: 

HARICA’s ETSI auditor is QMSCERT.  HARICA’s last audit report was dated June 4, 2020, and we are expecting to receive a current audit report soon.  The 2020 audit may be downloaded here:  https://www.qmscert.com/share/HARICA_Audit_Attestation_E_V2.3_040620-01-AL_V1.0.pdf.  (We expect to receive a new 2021 audit report during this discussion period.)

That audit noted Bug 1597135 for the issuance of three EV certificates without L or ST (closed).

Subsequent bugs (closed) are as follows:

1649945 - Incorrect OCSP Delegated Responder Certificate

1651465 - Delayed revocation for non-BR-compliant CA Certificates within 7 days

1699796 - Certificates with invalid policy tree

HARICA has no bugs currently open.


Thus, this email begins a three-week public discussion period, which I’m scheduling to close on or about 11-June-2021.


A representative of HARICA must promptly respond directly in the discussion thread to all questions that are posted.

 

Sincerely yours,

Ben Wilson

I took a quick look at the CPS and noted the following:

GOOD: In Feb 2021, the CPS was updated to forbid agreed-upon change to
website from being used for wildcard validation.

GOOD: In May 2021, the CPS was updated to remove the DNS Operator CAA
exception.

GOOD: Effective 2021-06-01, certificate subjects will not contain the
OU field.

The above shows that HARICA is paying attention to the discussion of
problematic practices and is proactively discontinuing them even before
they are banned in the BRs.

Regards,
Andrew

All,
I'm going to close the public discussion phase of these inclusion requests later today, and then we'll start the one-week "last call" period before I submit these for inclusion.

On May 19, 2021, we began the public discussion period [Step 4 of the Mozilla Root Store CA Application Process] for HARICA’s inclusion requests. 

We received one favorable comment and no negative comments. Based on this review of the public discussion, I do not believe there are any open action items for HARICA to complete under Steps 5-8 of the application process. 

This is notice that I am closing the public discussion period [Step 9] and that it is Mozilla’s intent to approve HARICA’s requests for inclusion [Step 10].   

This begins a 7-day “last call” period (through June 22, 2021) for any final objections.

Thanks,

Ben
