Subject: Official Information request - Reasons for MRTD SSL CA revocation

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I am requesting all information relating to the revocation of 4x SSL Certificate Authority / Root Certificates which are used to ensure the security of all Machine Readable Travel Documents (Passports in this case) issued in New Zealand. The serial numbers and date of revocation for each certificate are detailed below:

Serial Number: 42E57438
Revocation Date: Jul 7 01:01:20 2008 GMT

Serial Number: 42E57626
Revocation Date: Jun 30 03:00:49 2011 GMT

Serial Number: 42E577DE
Revocation Date: Jun 12 01:43:19 2014 GMT

Serial Number: 42E578A4
Revocation Date: Aug 25 03:01:29 2015 GMT

The information I am looking for specifically is relating to why these certificates were revoked (i.e. if there was a security breach) and any other information pertaining to the revocations as can be reasonably acquired.

I am requesting that the information be made available to the public due to a greater public safety interest in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982. It is not unreasonable for most or all of the details pertaining to the revocation to be released considering the amount of time that has passed since the last revocation (nearly one whole year).

For the purposes of the Act, I am a New Zealand citizen and residing in New Zealand at the time of making this request. You generally have 20 working days to respond to this notice, as required by law. Your response will be published publicly on the fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Cody C
