Alternative Challenge Password Attributes for Enrollment over Secure Transport
RFC 7894, “Alternative Challenge Password Attributes for Enrollment over Secure Transport”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2016 by M. Pritikin, C. Wallace. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a set of new Certificate Signing Request attributes for use with the Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) protocol. These attributes provide disambiguation of the existing overloaded uses for the challengePassword attribute defined in "PKCS #9: Selected Object Classes and Attribute Types Version 2.0" (RFC 2985). Uses include the original certificate revocation password, common authentication password uses, and EST-defined linking of transport security identity.
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.
