Greetings,

 

I want to discuss what should CA do if subscriber provide proof that their IP 
address belong to a Cloud Service Provider.

 

If subscribers that purchase Cloud service from a Cloud Service Provider (Such 
as Aliyun in China), and they have contract that indicate the IP address they 
are using is from the  Cloud Service Provider.

But such contract or related document cannot prove that the IP address is from 
which ISP.

 

In this case,  the certificate application material from users do not contain 
information about ISP, the Cloud Service Provider may signed many contracts 
with different ISP, those contract or agreement do not contain any specific IP 
address or IP range.

In addition Cloud Service Provider refuse to provide contracts between them and 
ISP to CA because it’s confidential.

 

What we are trying to do is verify IP address belong to the Cloud Service 
Provider via public channel (Such as IP address tools).

(No Certificate in this case issued yet)

 

In this case:

1, Should this be sufficient to issue certificate?(1,files that prove IP is 
subscriber applied from Cloud Service Provider. 2,Public tools indicate this IP 
belongs to this Cloud Service Provider)

2,Should CA take further actions such as contact ISP directly?(Note that this 
IP address can be from any ISP in the world, public IP address tools do not 
take any responsibility for “Bugs” or inaccurate info)

3,Any more document  CA should request from subscriber, Cloud Service Provider 
or ISP?

 

Regards.
