Simplify statements about authentication of cert information (#243)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- Simplify 3.2.2 to more directly reflect the language used in that
section of the BRs
- Replace sections 3.2.3, 3.2.4, and 3.2.5 with "No applicable", because
Let's Encrypt does not need to perform authentication of individual
identity or validation of authority, and does not include non-verified
subscriber information in certificates

Note that this is the first use of "Not applicable." as full section
contents in this document. This feels more appropriate than "No
stipulation", as we are affirmatively stating that these sections do not
concern our operations, rather than saying simply that we choose not to
describe our operations in these sections.

### 3.2.2 Authentication of organization identity

ISRG only issues Domain Validation (DV) certificates. All FQDNs which will be listed in the Common Name and list of SANs in the certificate are fully validated prior to issuance.

ISRG uses three methods for validating domain control:
Prior to issuance of a Subscriber Certificate, ISRG uses at least one of the following methods to validate the Applicant's control of each requested FQDN:

1. DNS Change (Baseline Requirements Section 3.2.2.4.7)
2. Agreed-Upon Change to Website - ACME (Baseline Requirements Section 3.2.2.4.19)

### 3.2.5 Validation of authority
