Regarding Certificate renewal

2014-01-20 Thread Kamalraj Madhurakasan
Hello guys, I would like to know whether my understanding about certificate renewal is correct or not. To renew the certificate: 1. we need to generate a new CSR from the private key 2. revoke the old certificate 3. get the new CSR signed by the CA with validity extended The fields that are com

RE: How to use the CRL in ssl connection

2014-01-20 Thread Dave Thompson
This should happen if and only if the client cert is revoked. If you don't give the server the CRL(s), and since openssl (so far) doesn't use OCSP itself (though it supports an app using it), the server doesn't know the client cert is revoked and it accepts the connection, which may be fr

Dr. Henson, Can you give me any information with regards to how the exploitation of CVE-2013-6450 against 0.9.8y may manifest itself?  If not a DoS, could it cause a process using libssl to core, cause libssl to return an "okay" when it should returned an error status, leak sensitive informatio

Hi *, this is just an idea. However it would increase the security of our crypto system in case a trusted CA has been compromised. The idea is to implement a DNS lookup of a host whenever a ssl connection is going to be established. The lookup may search the TXT record of the domain. This re
