Hi all, We in the Mozilla PKI team have been discussing ways to improve revocation checking in our PKI stack, consolidating a bunch of ideas from earlier work [1][2] and some maybe-new-ish ideas. I've just pressed "save" on a new wiki page with our initial plan:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:RevocationPlan It would be really helpful if people could review and provide feedback on this plan. There's one major open issue highlighted in the wiki page. We're planning to adopt a centralized revocation list model for CA certificates, which we're calling OneCRL. (Conceptually similar to Chrome's CRLsets.) In addition to covering CA certifcates, we're also considering covering some end-entity (EE) certificates with OneCRL too. But there are some drawbacks to this approach, so it's not certain that we will include this in the final plan. Feedback on this point would be especially valuable. Thanks a lot, --Richard [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:ImprovingRevocation [2] https://www.imperialviolet.org/2012/02/05/crlsets.html -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
