Hi Gerv, You start by noticing "The scope of the BRs is a matter of debate..." And then you use that same "scope of the BRs" in 1) to specify Mozilla's requirements. Isn't that somewhat strange, if what you are trying to do is solve some problems that are caused by the former? CU Hans

Well, these are logs. So: - Is it necessary to require that log items can't be modified after they have been created? (Or is that implied by the cryptography being used.) How about deleted? - Is is perhaps a good idea to require a certain minimum accuracy (or other characteristics, timestamps

Isn't that something you should take up with StartCom? Bottom line you payed them for your certificate, didn't you. Not Mozilla. Perhaps StartCom should have been a bit more careful so they could keep serving their customers. CU Hans ___ dev-security-p

Globalsign accidental intermediate revocation incident

2016-10-16 Thread okaphone . elektronika
The revocation was not accidental. They intended to do it, it was only the effects they did not like. (Because of buggy software?) So, what can you do when that happens. Seems best to pull try and undo the revocation. Perhaps even when you can't do that according to the rules. CU Hans _

It seems to me that, considering WoSign and StarCom were when it happened actually the same entity, the things that went wrong should be weighed equally against them. So if only what has happened is relevant, it makes no sense to deal with them separately. If however what they propose/promise t
