In addition to CRLs, are revocations of issuing CAs not also addressed with 
CRLSets, OneCRL and certificate blacklisting?

For OCSP, an approach for an off-line root is to have the OCSP response signed 
daily by an OCSP responder. This means that we would not have any 1 year OCSP 
responses.

I'm not trying to disagree here, but I'm trying to find out how we can best 
specify reasonable expectations.

That is, there's a lot - a *lot* - that can go wrong with 1 year OCSP 
responders/CRLs. So if we're going to allow them, we need CAs to think about 
the technical risks and make proactive suggestions on how best to codify that. 
Because just a blanket "1 year responder" can go very wrong

There are CAs that are kept off-line other than roots, so perhaps the 
requirement should apply to all “off-line” CAs, assuming we can come to 
agreement on what that means.

Ryan,

This seems reasonable when you are dealing with an online CA. When you are 
dealing with a root CA, it is currently reasonable to only bring it online once 
a year to update the CRL, as that is the required frequency.  For many offline 
CAs it is quite a production to use the HSM, so I think the maximum duration of 
delegated responder certificates signed by root CAs should be at least a year.

Thanks,
Peter

I think 30 days is what we should target as the upper-bound, so would that be 
suggesting that we should target 15 days as a SHOULD with 30 as a MUST?

Or were you suggesting 30 as a SHOULD, 45 as a MUST, which in practice means... 
well, 45? :)

Hi Ryan,

Regarding delegated OCSP responder certificate validity, if 30 days is a 
desired goal (or a similar timeframe), I would recommend 45 days to allow the 
renewal to occur every 30 days, with a 15 day buffer for operational issues. 
Basically, for whatever target validity period we should add some buffer time.

Cheers,
Curt

Hi folks,

In response to various investigations about OCSP performance, operation, and 
trying to figure out how we can move to a world of more ubiquitous OCSP 
stapling, one of the things that comes up is that OCSP responses are very much 
like the pre-BR wild-west of certificates.

I've tried to capture a starting point for discussion at 
https://github.com/sleevi/cabforum-docs/pull/2/files?diff=split . I've tried to 
annotate the changes, and the reason for the changes, so that people can 
understand them, their goals, and the implications.

While I'd like to get this to the point of a Ballot, it's not quite there yet. 
In particular, it doesn't state Effective Dates, because I want to get a sense 
of the challenges that each bit may pose :)

If people find this approach useful, I'd like to also reform the CRL profile in 
a similar fashion.

There's also a lot of ways to express these requirements. I considered using a 
table approach, which I suspect some of our ETSI-audited CA members will be 
familiar with, and which I find useful, but I thought it best to keep the 
initial discussions simple and textual, and then we can make it pretty once 
we're happy with the substance.
