Policy-Discussion

[<ulrich AT cacert.org>]

current listing of root and subroots in CPS doesn't apply
to existing keys

all roots and subroots that counts
are listed under
https://wiki.cacert.org/Roots/StateOverview

+ the new root and subroots of the upcoming
  new roots ceremony
  (as defined in CPS as "new root")

testserver cacert1.it-sls.de root and subroot is completely out
of discussion to CPS as its freely available to all developers
via developers image and is explicitly declared
as a testserver root and testserver subroot
without this "open" testserver root and subroot
we hadn't made it happen of the class3 subroot replacement back
in 2011
testserver root and subroot status is defined: completely unsecure
and has no relation to the CAcert root and subroot
so therefor completely independent for testing and playing only

No Objections with PoJAM.

Security Policy (SP) should undergo a review and should be made ISO
27001 conform. It's on my task list but not on priority 1.

One Policy I like to add is CP / CPS. It is not totally compliant to RFC
3647. The RFC states one policy or at least one practice statement per
(sub-)CA. As I figured out, CAcert has 4 CAs: Test (no security),
Anonymous (low security), Named and Organisation (medium security).
Not really covered is the security need for code signing. However,
CAcert is not capable to issue high security certificates at the moment.
This is also on my task list, after SP is done.

Regards
Benedikt
