[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC15 version 1: Remove Validation Method Number 9

Tue Jan 22 06:00:02 MST 2019

Sure, I can make this change.  I’ll change “may not” to SHALL NOT so it’s abundantly clear.

"Prior validations using this method and validation data gathered according to this method may not be used to issue certificates."

If the intent is to prohibit re-use of this validation information for new Certificates once the BRs incorporating this ballot become effective, then "MAY NOT" is probably weak here. "MUST NOT" or "SHALL NOT" seems more appropriate.

Ballot SC15: Remove Validation Method Number 9

Purpose of Ballot:  Method 9, Test Certificate, is insecure when web hosting platforms use a single IP address for more than one Domain Name, so this method must not be used.

The following motion has been proposed by Doug Beattie of GlobalSign and endorsed by Bruce Morton of Entrust Datacard and Ryan Sleevi of Google.

--- MOTION BEGINS ---

This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates” as follows, based on Version 1.6.2:

This method has been retired and MUST NOT be used. Prior validations using this method and validation data gathered according to this method may not be used to issue certificates.
