Diffing the Root CA Certificate section against the corresponding section in the BRs:
|
Yes, that's because we don't want to say the same thing in multiple places. The BRs, on the other hand, are happy to do so: they repeat the same "MUST be v3" language in both 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.x.
Good point re: "meaningful"; I think we should replace it with "unique" since that's what the BRs ask for: "The contents SHOULD be an identifier for the certificate such that the certificate's Name is unique across all certificates issued by the issuing certificate." I specifically removed all aspects of these profiles that pertain to our old root and intermediate certificates. Although we are still using them, they were issued under an older version of our CP/CPS, and therefore still comply. The CP/CPS, like the BRs, governs the certificates we issue, not the ones we happen to be using.
I previously agreed with this stance, and tried to break everything out into sections like the BRs do. It felt even more confusing, because the BRs subsections are in arbitrary orders (since some are unique to specific profiles, while others are shared across profiles), and we cannot match the BRs sub-sub-subsection numbering. I think that this simplified, inlined version is actually easier to cross-reference with the BRs, due to only having to jump around within one doc, rather than both.
Good point, I'll reverse it.
See reply above about not describing our old issuance practices anymore. |
- Flip the statments about Root CA issuer and subject. - Replace "meaningful" with "unique" when describing subject CN.
