[cabf_validation] Ballot Proposal: Validation Method in certificatePolicies

Wayne,



When you work on the updated ballot text, it would be good to understand what 
happens when the domain validation is compliant with more than one method. For 
example, if we obtained/computed the same email for methods 2 and 4 (and maybe 
13 and 15), which method do we put into the certificate?

certificatePolicies



Thanks for the feedback Ryan. I think the new extension is cleaner and would 
like to propose that approach. Are you comfortable defining the syntax of the 
new extension in a new sub (g) of section 7.1.2.3 - roughly as follows?



g.   cabf-BRValidationMethod (2.23.140.1.11) (required on or after April 1, 
2019)



This extension contains a list of one or more OIDs that assert every distinct 
method performed by the CA to validate domain control or ownership of each 
FQDN contained in the certificate's subjectAlternativeName.



These OIDs representing validation methods SHALL be defined as follows:
* 2.23.140.1.2.4. concatenated with the subsection number of section 3.2.2.4 
corresponding to the domain validation method that was used to validate one or 
more subjectAlternativeNames in this certificate (e.g. 2.23.140.1.2.4.2'); or,
* 2.23.140.1.2.5 concatenated with the subsection number of section 3.2.2.5 
corresponding to the IP address validation method that was used to validate 
one or more subjectAlternativeNames in the certificate (e.g. 
'2.23.140.1.2.5.1').



OIDs representing validation methods MUST be encoded in this extension as 
follows:



cabf-BRValidationMethod OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2.23.140.1.NN }



BRValidationMethodSyntax ::=

SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF OBJECT IDENTIFIER



}

If this is headed in the right direction, I'll update the ballot proposal on 
GitHub.



- Wayne
