An X509v3 certificate has “notBefore” and “notAfter” fields. If either of those is not present, then it is not an X509v3 certificate. The time marked by those fields is the validity period. If you want “never expires” X509v3 certificates, the best you can do it put a very large value in the n

The devices never test out the lifetime of their certs. That is up to the validating servers. And the iDevID is not really intended for operational use. Rather it is the security bootstrap for the lDevID. See the work being done in the ANIMA workgroup as an example of what to do with this.

Depends on the question 'Infinite' duration is used in IEEE 802.1AR Device Identities. The concept is the vendor installs the certificate in read-only memory. It is expected to be good for the life of the device. On 09/11/2017 05:32 AM, Alejandro Pulido wrote: Dear team of OpenSSL, Firs
