This is the EGI Trust Anchor release, based on the updated IGTF Accredited CA
distribution version 1.106-1 with the specific DOGWOOD CA in
meta-package "ca-policy-egi-combined-adequacy-model-1.106-1"
that supports the model of joint assurance provision as detailed in the
EGI Policy on Acceptable Authentication Assurance.
The following notices are republished from the IGTF, inasfar as pertinent to

Changes from 1.105 to 1.106
---------------------------
(4 May 2020)
* Removed expiring AddTrust External CA Root (US)
* Updated legacy DutchGrid (Nikhef MS) Root CA (NL)
* Removed discontinued NCSA-tfca-2013 CA (US)
* Added TCS G4 ECC trust anchors to experimental area (EU)
The CA modifications encoded in both "requires" and "obsoletes" clauses (RPM)
and Conflicts/Replaced clauses (Debian) have been incorporated in the above-
mentioned meta-packages. This release is best enjoyed with fetch-crl v3 or
better, available from GNU/Linux OS add-on repositories Fedora, EPEL, Debian,
and from the IGTF at https://www.igtf.net/fetch-crl
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This release contains a new "cam" (combined assurance/adequacy) package
based on the approved policy on differentiated assurance. See details on
the EGI Wiki at https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_IGTF_Release#cam-impl
TECHNICALLY THIS MEANS THAT
you must ONLY install the new ca-policy-egi-cam packages if you ALSO
at the same time implement VO-specific authorization controls in your
software stack. This may require reconfiguration or a software update. See
https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI_IGTF_Release#cam-impl
OTHERWISE
just only install or update the regular ca-policy-egi-core package. There
are no changes in this case. The ca-policy-egi-core package is approved for
all VOs membership and assurance models. No configuration change is needed.
Policy on Acceptable Authentication Assurance (Updated 1 Feb 2017)
------------------------------------------------------------------
If a VO registration service or e-Infrastructure registration service is
accredited by EGI to meet or exceed the approved authentication assurance
profiles, an IGTF accredited Authority meeting the Assurance Profile DOGWOOD
- used solely in combination with said registration service - is also
adequate for user authentication. This policy has been adopted on Feb 1st,
2017, and is available at https://documents.egi.eu/document/2930
In the PKI Technology Rendering, EGI thus approves the IGTF SLCS, MICS, and
Classic APs for general use (egi-core), and in addition the IOTA AP for use
in combination with VO registration services that themselves meet the
aforementioned requirements. This additional restriction must be implemented
by each service in the authorization software. The "combined assurance"
model package must not be installed unless the additional authorization is
in place. You will need to reconfigure and may need to install upgrades.
