PKI - Public Key Infrastructure (X.509)

URL:      http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2587.txt

The PKIX working group develops Internet standards to support X.509-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). X.509 is an ITU-T or ISO/IEC/ITU standard certificate format. PKIX has produced documents such as, RFC 2459, which profiled X.509 version 3 certificates and version 2 CRLs for use in the Internet, RFC 2587 on LDAP v2 for certificate and CRL storage, and RFC 3039 on the Public Key Infrastructure Qualified Certificates Profile. The Time-Stamp Protocol (RFC 3161), Certificate Management Messages over CMS (RFC 2797), and the use of FTP and HTTP for transport of PKI operations (RFC 2585) are representative of the expanded scope of PKIX, as these are not profiles of ITU PKI, but new protocols developed in the working group.
