Clarification to Processing Key Usage Values During Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Validation
RFC 5280 (Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and
Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile) defines the profile of
X.509 certificates and CRLs for use in the Internet. Section 4.2.1.3
of RFC 5280 requires CRL issuer certificates to contain the keyUsage
extension with the cRLSign bit asserted. However, the CRL validation
algorithm specified in Section 6.3 of RFC 5280 does not explicitly
include a corresponding check for the presence of the keyUsage
certificate extension. This document updates RFC 5280 to require
that check.
