[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC-52 version 2: Specify CRL Validity Intervals in Seconds

[Tim Hollebeek]

Ballot SC-52 version 2: Specify CRL Validity Intervals in Seconds

Purpose of Ballot: Similar to Ballot SC-31 which modified the specification
of

OCSP validity periods to be in seconds, this ballot modifies the
specification

of CRL validity periods to be in seconds to avoid confusion about exactly
which

periods are valid and which are not.  The ballot also specifies that other
time 

periods should be handled the same way, which has broader impacts throughout


the document.

 

These changes should not be interpreted as implying that missing a deadline
by

a few seconds is any more or less important than it previously was.  The

changes are merely intended to provide additional clarity and precision
about

exactly where the deadlines are.

 

The following motion has been proposed by Tim Hollebeek of DigiCert and
endorsed 

by Trevoli Ponds-White of Amazon and Kati Davids of GoDaddy.
