</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In January 2018, a vulnerability affecting the ACME TLS-SNI-01 method of domain validation was disclosed [1]. That method is an implementation of BR 3.2.2.4.10, which is still permitted by the BRs despite the vulnerability. Some Browsers
have banned the use of method 10 unless mitigations for the vulnerability have been put into place, and one approach to mitigation - using application-layer protocol negotiation (ALPN) - has now been standardized by the IETF as RFC 8737. This ballot replaces
the poorly specified and potentially insecure 'method 10' with a new 'method 20' based on RFC 8737.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ballot proposed no transition period during which method 10, or validations performed using method 10 may continue to be relied upon. The only known current use of method 10 is an implementation of RFC 8737 that would remain compliant
(although it may require changes to the CA's CPS and the identifier of the method that is being logged when performing validations).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This ballot also limits the use of the new method to the specific FQDN that was validated - different subdomains require new validations, and wildcards are not permitted. This requirement is not the result of a specific known risk but rather
stems from a belief that DNS-based validation methods are more appropriate for verifying control over an entire subdomain.<o:p></o:p></p>
