#4: Should we sign TBS for Certificates?

Comment (by [email protected]):

 Yes.  There are an unlimited number of ways that a spammer could
 incorrectly re-encode the signature algorithm parameters in the signature
 part of a single certificate, so I think we definitely need to address
 this.
 We could address it by saying that logs MUST check that the signature
 parameters are encoded identically in a cert's signature part and
 TBSCertificate part, but I think this ticket's suggestion (to always sign
 TBS) is the more elegant solution.
