Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Subject Identification Method
RFC 4683, “Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Subject Identification Method”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2006 by J. Park, J. Lee, H. Lee, S. Park, T. Polk. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the Subject Identification Method (SIM) for including a privacy-sensitive identifier in the subjectAltName extension of a certificate.
The SIM is an optional feature that may be used by relying parties to determine whether the subject of a particular certificate is also the person corresponding to a particular sensitive identifier. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
