The Certificate Authority (CA) industry was alerted of compliance implications related to the inclusion of a specific extension (OCSP-signing extended key usage) in CA certificates which has, under certain conditions, unintended compliance and security implications. A number of GlobalSign Issuing CAs have been impacted by this issue. While no key compromise or security incident has taken place, we will be revoking these Issuing CA’s as part of our remediation plans in accordance with the CA/B Forum Baseline Requirements and the GlobalSign CPS. Revoked intermediate certificates can cause errors in the validation of certificates signed by these intermediate certificates.
