BinaryTime: An Alternate Format for Representing Date and Time in ASN.1
RFC 6019, “BinaryTime: An Alternate Format for Representing Date and Time in ASN.1”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2010 by R. Housley. It obsoletes RFC 4049. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a new ASN.1 type for representing time: BinaryTime. This document also specifies an alternate to the signing-time attribute for use with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) SignedData and AuthenticatedData content types; the binary-signing-time attribute uses BinaryTime. CMS and the signing-time attribute are defined in RFC 5652. [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.
