<p><font face="Calibri">Hi all,</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">I have a doubt regarding the validation of
IP addresses. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Maybe I am just overlooking some word or
sentence in the BR that solves my doubt, but right now I just
cannot see it.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Among the methods allowed by the BR for the
validation of domains, we have method #12:</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">"</font><font face="Calibri">3.2.2.4.12
Validating Applicant as a Domain Contact</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Confirming the Applicant's control over the
FQDN by validating the Applicant is the Domain Contact. This
method may only be used if the CA is also the Domain Name
Registrar, or an Affiliate of the Registrar, of the
Base Domain Name."</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">If I am not overlooking anything, it seems
that we do not have a similar method for IP addresses, and my
doubt is then "why".<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">If a CA is also an Autonomous System and is
directly managing a dedicated server - on a specific IP address
- for the Applicant, the CA knows </font><font face="Calibri"><font
face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">with
certainty </font></font></font><font face="Calibri"><font
face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri"><font
face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">that the Applicant
controls such IP address, based on its records.<br>
</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></p>
<font face="Calibri">TIA for any hints and remarks,</font>
