Dear Relying Parties, Authorities, Users, and all others interested,
In this announcement of the IGTF:
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.122 available
============================================================================
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.122 available
============================================================================
A new distribution of Accredited Authorities by the Interoperable Global
Trust Federation, based on the IGTF Common Source, is now available. It
includes newly accredited Authorities and retires obsolete trustanchors.
This is version 1.122 (release 1), and it is now available for download
from the Repository (and mirrors) at
https://dist.igtf.net/distribution/igtf/current/
Changes from 1.121 to 1.122
---------------------------
(7 August 2023)
* Added private trust hierarchy for GEANT (Research and Education) TCS (EU)
(RSA variants only)
* Added accredited eMudhra joint public trust root and issuing CAs (IN)
* Added private trust eMudhra IGTF root and issuers as experimental (IN, US)
NOTICE: in future releases we will move to a new RSA-2048 GPG package signing
key. The new public key file, GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-4, is distributed with
this and subsequent releases. You can retrieve the new public key file from
https://dl.igtf.net/distribution/GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-4
Next Release
------------
Releases are usually done on the last Monday of the month, only when the
trust anchor distribution has materially been updated. The currently-
estimated next release of the distribution will be in early September 2023.

REPEATED NOTICES
=========================================================================
Use in coordinated-deployment infrastructures
---------------------------------------------
If you are part of a coordinated-deployment infrastructure (e.g. a national
or regional e-Infrastructure, EGI, OSG, PRACE-RI, NAREGI or others) you may
want to await their announcement before installing the release. They could
include localised adaptations. For reference we include the links below:
PRACE-RI https://winnetou.surfsara.nl/prace/certs/
EGI https://edu.nl/envyq (i.e. EGI provider docs HOWTO01)
wLCG https://lcg-ca.web.cern.ch
Open Science Grid https://repo.opensciencegrid.org/cadist/
Not all IGTF releases are necessarily accompanied by infrastructure-specific
releases. If changes in the IGTF distribution do not materially impact the
distribution of the relying party, no associated release may be done, nor is
there a reason to update such a distribution.
Supplementary download locations
--------------------------------
The download repository is also mirrored by the EUGridPMA at
https://dist.eugridpma.info/distribution/igtf/
and is also available from the Debian distribution for its supported
version, e.g. https://packages.debian.org/sid/igtf-policy-classic
