Storing Validation Parameters in PKCS#8
RFC 8479, “Storing Validation Parameters in PKCS#8”, is an Informational document published in September 2018 by N. Mavrogiannopoulos. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes a method of storing parameters needed for private-key validation in the Private-Key Information Syntax Specification as defined in PKCS#8 format (RFC 5208). It is equally applicable to the alternative implementation of the Private-Key Information Syntax Specification as defined in RFC 5958.
The approach described in this document encodes the parameters under a private enterprise extension and does not form part of a formal standard.
