Dear Relying Parties, Authorities, Users, and all others interested,
In this announcement of the IGTF:
1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.135 available
============================================================================ 1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.135 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 1.135 (release 1), and it is now available for download from the Repository (and mirrors) at
https://dist.igtf.net/distribution/igtf/current/
Changes from 1.134 to 1.135 --------------------------- (5 May 2025)
* Updated SlovakGrid trust anchor with extended validity (SK) * Withdrawn discontinued HPCI CA (JP)
NOTE: the _default_ package signing key has changed to the 4th generation for increased security and compatibility. The new key is a 2048 bit RSA with fingerprint 565F4528EAD3F53727B5A2E9B055005676341F1A. The GPG public key file can be retrieved from https://dl.igtf.net/distribution/current/GPG-KEY-EUGridPMA-RPM-4 and imported on rpm-based distributions with 'rpmkeys --import <file>' or on Debian (apt) based systems set in Signed-By in sources.list or added as a file in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
This change was first announced in the 1.122 release (August 2023), but a distribution signed with the generation-3 key remains available. A signature of the gen-4 key signed by the gen-3 GPG key is available from https://dl.igtf.net/distribution/current/ for validation.
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 end of June 2025
========================================================================= 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: 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/stable-backports/igtf-policy-classic &c
