Housley Status: Standards Track Date: April 2002 Mailbox: stephen.farrell@baltimore.ie, rhousley@rsasecurity.com Pages: 40 Characters: 90580 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pkix-ac509prof-09.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3281.txt This specification defines a profile for the use of X.509 Attribute Certificates in Internet Protocols. Attribute certificates may be used in a wide range of applications and environments covering a broad spectrum of interoperability goals and a broader spectrum of operational and assurance requirements. The goal of this document is to establish a common baseline for generic applications requiring broad interoperability as well as limited special purpose requirements. The profile places emphasis on attribute certificate support for Internet electronic mail, IPSec, and WWW security applications. This document is a product of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
