Hi Denis,

 

Thanks Denis, I accept your proposal. Unless I hear valid objections from
others, that is what goes into text.

Eric, 

I don't believe the proposal is fully adequate. 

It is currently proposed: 
  


An ordered list of public-key certificates starting with a public-key
certificate signed by a trust anchor and ending with the public-key
certificate to be validated. 



We currently have: 

CertificationPath    ::= SEQUENCE { 
  userCertificate        Certificate, 
  theCACertificates      SEQUENCE OF CertificatePair OPTIONAL } 

The proposed definition does not match with the ASN.1 definition. 

I would rather propose: 

An ordered list of public-key certificates starting with the public-key
certificate to be validated, 
optionally followed by an ordered list of CA certificates, the last one
being signed by a trust anchor.

After some discussion, especially on the PKIX list, there seems to be some
consensus on the definition of certification path. This consensus is
reflected in DR 369 (see
