Lawtrust: The S/MIME CA’s policy identifiers did not align with the CA/Browser Forum Requirements.
The incident involved LAWtrust's S/MIME CA, where policy identifiers did not align with the CA/Browser Forum Requirements. This misalignment was identified during an audit, leading to the issuance of 12 internal test certificates that were not compliant. The CA team misinterpreted the requirements, resulting in incorrect Distinguished Name (DN) configurations. Following the identification of the issue, all affected certificates were revoked, and corrective measures were implemented, including updates to the certificate profiles and internal training to ensure compliance with the S/MIME Baseline Requirements.
- First S/MIME Test Certificate pair issued.
- Non-compliance identified regarding policy identifiers.
- All affected certificates revoked.
- Closure report submitted.
