Attribute Certificate Policies Extension
RFC 4476, “Attribute Certificate Policies Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2006 by C. Francis, D. Pinkas. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes one certificate extension that explicitly states the Attribute Certificate Policies (ACPs) that apply to a given Attribute Certificate (AC). The goal of this document is to allow relying parties to perform an additional test when validating an AC, i.e., to assess whether a given AC carrying some attributes can be accepted on the basis of references to one or more specific ACPs. [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.
