HARICA disagrees with adding the following text to the Baseline
Requirements:<br>
<br>
<i><span class="blob-code-inner blob-code-marker js-code-nav-pass "
data-code-marker="+"><span class="pl-mb">"**Effective
2022-06-01:**</span> For purposes of computing differences, a
difference of 3,600 seconds shall be equal to one hour, and a
difference of 86,400 seconds shall be equal to one day, ignoring
leap seconds. Any amount of time greater than this, including
fractional seconds, shall represent an additional unit of
measure, such as an additional hour or additional day."</span></i><br>
<br>
My team has advised me that when using the standard (vixie) cron, an
admin cannot state that an action must take place:<br>
<ul>
<li>every x minutes, for x>60</li>
<li>every x hours, for x>24</li>
<li>every x days, for x>1</li>
<li>every x months, for x>12</li>
</ul>
An admin would need to create custom scripts to overcome these
problems, thus creating a possibility of human error. It is also not
possible to specify seconds. This is just one of the tools that can
be used by admins. Windows has the same limitations in the "tasks"
scheduling tool.<br>
<br>
This is a very simple indication that such a change in the
requirements will require significant analysis and implementation
effort by all CAs without good justification.<br>
<br>
HARICA still doesn't see a clear benefit from generalizing the
expectation that all time intervals in the BRs, EVGs, NetSec should
be evaluated at the level of 1 second which is an "expensive"
compliance obligation and should be applied/enforced in areas where
it is really needed. The necessity may come from interoperability
risks as we have seen for the validity of certificates and OCSP/CRL.
If other areas seem appropriate for this level of accuracy, we
should identify, justify and add to the requirements instead of
making a general requirement for such an expensive operation.<br>
