Require CAs to reject keys in certs which are revoked for keyCompromise #95

Open gerv opened 7 years ago

gerv commented 7 years ago

If a CA is asked to revoke a certificate due to key compromise, the CA should refuse a CSR containing the same key.

This came up in the discussion of Hanno Bock's discoveries of private keys sitting on webservers.

This could be a thing to add to the BRs via the CAB Forum or it could be something we could add; I'm filing this here to keep track of the issue.

Currently, CAs are only required under BR 4.9.1.1 to revoke an issued certificate with a compromised key. The MRSP or BRs could be amended to require pre-screening.

SC35 already handled this case for server authentication certificates: https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/pull/224/files#diff-e0ac1bd190515a4f2ec09139d395ef6a8c7e9e5b612957c1f5a2dea80c6a6cfeR1473.

Given this, this issue may be redundant, depending on whether or we want this handled for emailProtection certificates at the Mozilla Policy-level as opposed to handling in the upcoming SMIME BRs.

Resolution of this issue could be postponed until the CA/Browser Forum's S/MIME WG adopts this as a requirement. I cannot see a section in the MRSP where this requirement could be cleanly placed, except maybe in section 2.2 or section 5.2.

I'm removing the version 2.8 label on this because it will be adequately covered by item 4 in section 6.1.1.3 of the CABF SMIME WG's Baseline requirements. See https://github.com/cabforum/smime/blob/preSBR/SBR.md
