What if a domain expires but a certificate for the domain has been issued by the previous owner?
- mikeash 11y agoI would think a cert shouldn't be issued with an expiration date after that of the domain registration itself.
- kijin 11y agoThat would work with common gTLDs, but some ccTLDs have a very annoying policy where they only allow one-year renewals and the renewal doesn't show up in the whois until the last moment. Anyway, it's trivial to find out whether a domain was expired and re-registered. The date of initial registration in the whois will change, so you can just compare it with the value you saw when you first issued a certificate for that domain.
