Subject: [Servercert-wg] Voting period begins: SC-58: require distributionPoint in sharded CRLs

Purpose of Ballot

Recently, several conversations around the necessity of the distributionPoint field (and its containing Issuing Distribution Point extension) in sharded CRLs have come to the conclusion that, although the distributionPoint field serves an important purpose in defending against substitution attacks, RFC 5280's language does not actually require its presence.

This ballot augments the Baseline Requirements' CRL Profile to ensure that all sharded CRLs contain the distributionPoint field.



The following motion has been proposed by Aaron Gable of ISRG / Let's Encrypt, and endorsed by Clint Wilson of Apple, Corey Bonnell of DigiCert, and Dmitris Zacharopoulos of HARICA.

Motion Begins

This ballot modifies the "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates" ("Baseline Requirements"), based on Version 1.8.4.

MODIFY the Baseline Requirements as specified in the following Redline:
