Section | Section 2.2 of [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/policy/ Mozilla's Root Store Policy] states: "For a certificate capable of being used for digitally signing or encrypting email messages, the CA takes reasonable measures to verify that the entity submitting the request controls the email account associated with the email address referenced in the certificate or has been authorized by the email account holder to act on the account holder’s behalf. The CA's CP/CPS must clearly specify the procedure(s) that the CA employs to perform this verification." | ||
The CA's public documentation needs to provide sufficient information describing how the email address is verified to be owned/controlled by the certificate subscriber. For instance, if a challenge-response type of procedure is used, then there needs to be a brief description of the process. If public resources are used, then there should be a description of which public resources are used, what data is retrieved from public resources, and how that data is used to verify that the certificate subscriber owns/controls the email address. | The CA's public documentation needs to provide sufficient information describing how the email address is verified to be owned/controlled by the certificate subscriber.
