Summary0008249: Part 83 section 7.7.2 Table 3 Validity Period description needs to be improved (D. Ziegler)
Description

The description of Validity Period currently reads:
The current time shall be after the start of the validity period.
The time at which the signature was created shall be after the start of the validity period and before the end.

This means that Descriptors become invalid as soon as a certificate expires (or is revoked). I.e. the publisher needs to resign the Descriptor periodically. Consider maybe using third-party time-stamping services such that the signature can be validated, even if the certificate has expired

TagsNo tags attached.

From discussion with Martin Dickopp: I don't see why Descriptors become invalid when the certificate expires. The requirement demands that the time the signature was created (i.e., a fixed time chosen by the signer) shall be within the certificate validity period. If this is true, it remains so forever.

This is currently more a requirement of well-formedness than a security requirement (since the signer chooses the timestamp), but will become a security requirement when we specify trusted timestamps in C2D.

No change to the text is required.
