"Certificate Authorities have highly trusted roles in the internet ecosystem and it is unacceptable for a CA to be closely tied, through ownership and operation, to a company engaged in the distribution of malware. Trustcor’s responses via their Vice President of CA operations further substantiates the factual basis for Mozilla’s concerns.
[...]
Our assessment is that the concerns about TrustCor have been substantiated and the risks of TrustCor’s continued membership in Mozilla’s Root Program outweighs the benefits to end users.
In line with our earlier communication, we intend to take the following actions:
1. Set “Distrust for TLS After Date” and “Distrust for S/MIME After Date” to November 30, 2022, for the 3 TrustCor root certificates (TrustCor RootCert CA-1, TrustCor ECA-1, TrustCor RootCert CA-2) that are currently included in Mozilla’s root store.
2. Remove those root certificates from Mozilla’s root store after the existing end-entity TLS certificates have expired."So Mozilla is flatly stating that Rachel's Gish galloping bullshit responses in the discussion were a significant part of the reason they don't trust her. She should have just followed a good lawyer's advice and kept her mouth shut, because she made her own problems much worse with her own words.
> From a practical standpoint, Microsoft seems to have set the distrust date for TrustCor's roots to November 1, 2022 instead of November 30
> The discussion thus far is appreciated and has been both informative and constructive. My post on November 8 indicated that if our concerns have not been resolved by today (November 22) and further investigation and discussion is still needed, that we would set the “Distrust for TLS After Date” and “Distrust for S/MIME After Date” to November 29, 2022, for the 3 TrustCor root certificates. However, we’d like to allow more time for any additional dialogue or external developments to transpire prior to sharing our intended course of action. We will continue our assessment and share out necessary next steps on Wednesday, November 30.
