Agreed. And each method should stand on its own without cross-referencing among methods (otherwise tracking the particular method used will be too complicated). So I'm OK without cross-referencing methods.
But are we clear enough? For example, the currently proposed method 10 could probably benefit from better language on how the applicant obtains the random value. Currently it only says, "Confirming the Applicant's control over the FQDN by confirming the presence of a Random Value within a Certificate on the Authorization Domain Name which is accessible by the CA via TLS over an Authorized Port." The other methods seem to specify the process more thoroughly. -----Original Message----- From: geo...@apple.com [mailto:geo...@apple.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 9, 2017 3:11 PM To: Ben Wilson <ben.wil...@digicert.com>; CA/Browser Forum Public Discussion List <public@cabforum.org> Cc: Gervase Markham <g...@mozilla.org>; Jeremy Rowley <jeremy.row...@digicert.com>; Rich Smith <richard.sm...@comodo.com>; Peter Bowen <p...@amzn.com> Subject: Re: [cabfpub] Random value reuse I think that’s where the ‘single communication’ rule really helps. Then this is taken care of by the descriptions of the methods: if you have to send the random value to a particular place, then obviously that can’t be combined with a random value sent some other way; if you have to put it in a particular place, then it doesn’t matter how it was sent… > On 9 Aug 2017, at 1:54 pm, Ben Wilson via Public <public@cabforum.org> wrote: > > Putting the issue of "reuse" aside, do we need to clarify this issue of > which random value methods can be used in combination with others?
