re:X.509 Certificate Extension Proposal

1994-09-09 20:08:00
Following are two further X.509 certificate extension fields I would 
like to propose:


(1)  Internet Mail Address

This extension has the ASN.1:

  InternetMailAddress ::= PrintableString

This extension is non-critical.

I would propose that this extension be incorporated into a revised RFC 
1422, i.e., registered by the IETF (not ISO).


(2)  Printable Subject Identifier

This extension has the ASN.1:

  PrintableSubjectId ::= PrintableString

This extension is non-critical.  Its purpose is to provide a string 
suitable for display in user interfaces, e.g., when advising a 
signature-verifying user of the identity of the signing party.

I would propose that this extension also be incorporated into a revised 
RFC 1422.  However, being universally useful, it could also be 
incorporated in the ISO standard.
