An Internet Attribute Certificate Profile for Authorization
RFC 5755, “An Internet Attribute Certificate Profile for Authorization”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2010 by S. Farrell, R. Housley, S. Turner. It obsoletes RFC 3281. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines a profile for the use of X.509 Attribute Certificates in Internet Protocols. Attribute certificates may be used in a wide range of applications and environments covering a broad spectrum of interoperability goals and a broader spectrum of operational and assurance requirements. The goal of this document is to establish a common baseline for generic applications requiring broad interoperability as well as limited special purpose requirements. The profile places emphasis on attribute certificate support for Internet electronic mail, IPsec, and WWW security applications. This document obsoletes RFC 3281. [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.
