Other Certificates Extension

Overview

RFC 5697, “Other Certificates Extension”, is an Experimental document published in November 2009 by S. Farrell. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Some applications that associate state information with public key certificates can benefit from a way to link together a set of certificates that belong to the same end entity and that can safely be considered equivalent to one another for the purposes of referencing that application-state information. This memo defines a certificate extension that allows applications to establish the required linkage without introducing a new application protocol data unit. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
