Microsec new (ECC) Root Inclusion Request

Microsec Ltd. submitted a request for the inclusion of their new ECC-based root certificate, 'e-Szigno Root CA 2017', into Mozilla's root program. The request was prompted by the expiration of their previous root certificate and the establishment of a new CA hierarchy. Throughout the process, Microsec provided necessary documentation, including attestation letters and updates to their Certificate Policy (CP) and Certification Practice Statement (CPS). The case faced scrutiny regarding compliance with Mozilla's policies and the CA/Browser Forum's Baseline Requirements, particularly concerning email validation practices and the handling of revocation requests. Ultimately, the request was approved for inclusion with the websites and email trust bits enabled.
