Hi folks, I have a PR at https://github.com/tlswg/tls-subcerts/pull/83 to clarify some text in the tls-subcert document regarding client-side validation with respect to valid_time. Below is a quick summary of the changes: - Clarify in valid_time definition that validation happens with respect to the current time (Rich Salz made a similar suggestion at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/026iVah93ZXZ02pUq3thyjlhnSs/) - Correct and clarify client-side validation steps described at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-subcerts-10#section-4.1.3; Step 1 and 3 were previously incorrect or ambiguous, and step 2 has been clarified. Please take a look and leave comments if you have any! -- Luke Valenta Systems Engineer - Research
