Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Management Protocol
RFC 4210, “Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Management Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2005 by C. Adams, S. Farrell, T. Kause, T. Mononen. It obsoletes RFC 2510. It has since been updated by RFC 6712, RFC 9480, RFC 9481. It has been obsoleted by RFC 9810 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate Management Protocol (CMP). Protocol messages are defined for X.509v3 certificate creation and management. CMP provides on-line interactions between PKI components, including an exchange between a Certification Authority (CA) and a client 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.
