MPIC (Multi-Perspective Issuance Corroboration) is required under CA\/Browser Forum policy for TLS and S\/MIME certificate issuance trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article will describe MPIC requirements, the technical application of MPIC, quorum requirements, timelines for enforcement (with information from DigiCert and Sectigo), and recommendations for organizations to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-mpic\">What is MPIC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MPIC requires Certificate Authorities (CAs) to characterize a domain&#8217;s control (DCV) and its CAA records indicated from multiple independent network perspectives (i.e., unique geographic \/ network vantage points) rather than relying on a single perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/blog\/end-of-whois-based-dcv-methods-what-you-need-to-know-and-how-to-transition\/\">End of WHOIS-Based DCV Methods: What You Need to Know and How to Transition<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overall purpose of the requirement is to defend against attacks such as BGP hijacking or DNS poisoning\/spoofing, whereby a malicious actor may intercept or redirect traffic, so that a single-perspective DCV could appear valid despite the malicious actor\u2019s not being the legitimate domain controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-mpic-works\">How MPIC Works?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the core components and methods involved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Component \/ Step<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Primary Network Perspective<\/strong><\/td><td>The CA&#8217;s normal infrastructure (or &#8220;trusted&#8221; internal perspective) where the DCV \/ CAA \/ HTTP \/ DNS \/ ACME checks are first performed.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Remote Network Perspectives<\/strong><\/td><td>Additional independent locations (servers on different networks \/ geographies) utilized to repeat those checks.
