The IESG has received a request from the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME WG (lamps) to consider the following document: - 'Clarification to processing Key Usage values during CRL validation' <draft-ietf-lamps-keyusage-crl-validation-03.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2025-12-03. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract RFC 5280 defines the profile of X.509 certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs) for use in the Internet. Section 4.2.1.3 of RFC 5280 requires CRL issuer certificates to contain the keyUsage extension with the cRLSign bit asserted. However, the CRL validation algorithm specified in Section 6.3 of RFC 5280 does not explicitly include a corresponding check for the presence of the keyUsage certificate extension. This document updates RFC 5280 to require that check. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-keyusage-crl-validation/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
