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

[Aaron Gable]

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.
