Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Proxy Certificate Profile
RFC 3820, “Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Proxy Certificate Profile”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2004 by S. Tuecke, V. Welch, D. Engert, L. Pearlman, M. Thompson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document forms a certificate profile for Proxy Certificates, based on X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates as defined in RFC 3280, for use in the Internet. The term Proxy Certificate is used to describe a certificate that is derived from, and signed by, a normal X.509 Public Key End Entity Certificate or by another Proxy Certificate for the purpose of providing restricted proxying and delegation within a PKI based authentication system. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
