Asunto: Re: [cabfpub] Certificate validity periods

 

Jeremy,
I'm not sure Comodo would support any change at this point, but if we were to 
change I'd like to propose, let's call it 1c;
Set all max validity to 27 months; Require re-validation for all at 27 months.

I'm against your proposal of 1a for the same reasons I don't like 27/13 for EV  
It puts us in position of having to redo validation of a replacement request by 
the customer.  In this case, the customer would get the DV or OV for 27 months, 
be able to replace at will, renew the cert for an additional 27 months, but be 
subject to revalidatiion half way through the 2nd when trying to get a 
replacement/re-issuance.  This is bad enough with EV already, and I'm very much 
against extending it to OV/DV.  If we can't find a reasonable path to match up 
the re-validation requirement with max validity then I'm against making any 
changes.

        Hi everyone, 

         

        I'd like to resurface the certificate validity period discussion and 
see if there is a way to move this forward.  I'm still keen on seeing a 
standardized maximum validity period for all certificate types, regardless of 
whether the certificate is DV, OV, or EV. I believe the last time this was 
discussed, we reached an impasse where the browsers favored a shorter validity 
period for OV/DV and the CAs were generally supportive of a longer-lived EV 
certificate (39 months). The argument for a shorter validity period were 1) 
encourages key replacement, 2) ensures validation occurs more frequently, 3) 
deters damage caused by key loss or a change in domain control, and 4) permits 
more rapid changes in industry standards and accelerates the phase-out of 
insecure practices. The argument for longer validity periods: 1) customers 
prefer longer certificate validity periods, and 2) the difficulty in frequent 
re-validation of information. 

         

        So far, there seems to be two change proposals with a couple of 
variations:

         

        1)      Set all certificate validity periods to no more than 27 months

        a.       Require re-validation of information for OV/DV certificates at 
39 months OR

        b.       Require re-validation of information for all certs at 13 months

        2)      Set all certificate validity periods to 39 months

        a.       Require re-validation every 13 months

        b.       Require re-validation of information for OV/DV certificates at 
39 months

         

        What are the objections to 1a? With all the automated installers 
abounding, 1a seems to capture the simplicity and customer convenience of 39 
months with the advantages of shorter-lived certs. Who would oppose/endorse a 
ballot that does one of these? 

         

        Jeremy
