                </div>
                <div>In my opinion, CSRs should really be limited to
                  conveying the
                  public key and a proof of possession of the private
                  key; the fields
                  included therein <i>may</i> act as confirmatory
                  signals for a CA,
                  but shouldn’t be directly relied upon e.g. to generate
                  a
                  tbsCertificate. Rather, the values placed in fields of
                  a
                  tbsCertificate should originate from the CA’s
                  validated data store
                  to ensure that the only paths for data to become part
                  of a signed
                  certificate are through static configurations (e.g.
                  signatureAlgorithm) or known-validated data.</div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>There’s plenty of nuance we can discuss as well,
                  but generally
                  speaking I believe it’s bad practice to rely on fields
                  in the
                  CSR.</div>

                          <div>I'm interested in gathering information
                            from Certificate
                            Issuers about the kind of information that
                            they would like to
                            collect/extract from the CSRs they receive
                            from S/MIME certificate
                            applicants. This information could be used
                            to refine a system to
                            generate CSRs that result in certificates
                            compliant with the
                            various profiles defined in the S/MIME BRs.
                            Alternatively, what is
                            the minimum amount of information that CAs
                            might expect to obtain
                            from CSRs? In other words, which fields
                            should a CSR generator
                            integrated with a Certificate Consumer's
                            software
                            support?</div>
