Hi Kurt. I agree, hence why I proposed: "- I would also like to see BR 4.9.10 revised to say something roughly along these lines: 'If the OCSP responder receives a status request for a serial number that has not been allocated by the CA, then the responder SHOULD NOT respond with a "good" status.'" -- Rob Stradling Senior Research & Development Scientist Email: r...@sectigo.com _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
