[cabfpub] Fwd: [pkix] Straw-poll on OCSP responses for non-revoked certificates.

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

On 10/30/2012 11:47 PM, From Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.):
> Neither - an OCSP responder should respond with "Unknown" or 
> "Unauthorized" in case the certificate is unknown. Or either "Good" or 
> "Revoked" for known ones.
>
> Rational - responding "Revoked" for a certificate that might be good, 
> is incorrect, either due to migration and update time or other reasons 
> (out-of-sync cor whatever). Clients may cache revoked responses 
> forever, revoked certificates are never unrevoked.

I hope the folks from the PKIX forum follow the CAB Forum public list - 
it wasn't obvious to me that this mail was forwarded. Well, well... :-)
