Bugzilla #1860750 Certificate Misissuance

SwissSign: EV code in JurisdiktionStateOrProvinceName

RESOLVED FIXED SwissSign AG
AI Summary

SwissSign AG identified a compliance issue regarding the use of ISO 3166-2 codes instead of the full names for the 'jurisdictionStateOrProvinceName' field in their EV certificates. This misissuance was discovered during an internal review initiated by an employee's query. Although the certificates were deemed non-compliant with EV Guidelines, the risk to the ecosystem was assessed as low since consumers typically do not scrutinize this field. SwissSign has since implemented corrective actions, including revocation of affected certificates and adjustments to their issuance processes.
