Re: Why is privateKeyUsagePeriod deprecated?




I agree with Al's conclusion. SHOULD NOT is the right wording for RFC 3280 (and its successor).

in a certificate for those who really want it (it's a SHOULD NOT, not a MUST
NOT unless you want to mark it critical), and I personally don't see any
benefit to it, I'm in favor of leaving the recommendation the way it is in
3280.
