Statement on the issuance of S/MIME certificates:
The issuing CA in scope of certification is technically capable of issuing S/MIME certificates. On the request of NL MoD, we performed audit procedures to confirm that ETSI TS 119 411-6 V1.1.1 (2023-08) is not mandatory, as the effective S/MIME Baseline Requirements implementation date for extant CAs is specified to be 15 September 2024. As of 4 September 2024, ETSI TS 119 411-6 V1.1.1 (2023-08) is not applicable, because related to the CA in scope of certification:
- We observed on 4 September 2024 that the Extended Key Usage (EKU) for id-kp-emailProtection (OID: 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.4) is removed from the issued certificates (only the rfc822Name email address attribute is still included),
- Controls are in place to prevent the issuance of S/MIME certificates as of 4 September 2024.
Our annual recertification audit was performed in October and November 2024. The result of the full audit is that we conclude, based on the objective evidence collected during the audit, between 16 November 2023 and 15 November 2024, the areas assessed during the audit were generally found to be effective, based on the applicable requirements defined in NL MoD’s Statement of Applicability, dated 4 November 2024 and the Overview of Applicability, version 3.10 (not separately dated).
