AI Summary

This case concerns QuoVadis subCAs that were not revoked within the seven days allowed by the BR section .4.9.1.2, as previously disclosed in Bug 1581597. The CA stated it became aware of the issue through its prior disclosure and referenced Ryan Sleevi’s 15 Nov note on revocation expectations for such subCAs. QuoVadis reported that it committed to revoke the CAs on a schedule outlined in Bug 1581597 and requested that all 18 subCAs be added to OneCRL; it also stated that seven of the 18 subCAs had already been revoked and that additional revocations were planned. The CA further stated that COVID-19 access restrictions complicated bringing external auditors in, and that after restrictions were lifted it proceeded to complete revocation and key destruction of the final two ICAs during the week of June 22, with termination reported on June 25. The bug was later requested to be closed after the parent bug was marked resolved, and the final comment indicates there was no further update other than a request to close once revocation or key destruction was completed. The bug’s resolution is listed as FIXED and the current status is RESOLVED.
