Full Title
ISO/IEC 9594-8: Information Technology - Open Systems Interconnection - The Directory: Public-key and Attribute Certificate Frameworks
Description
ISO/IEC 9594-8 provides a set of 3 frameworks for authentication and secure communication, to be used within a defined security policy. These are:
- Attribute Certificates, including the definition of the information objects for Privilege Management Infrastructure;
- Authentication services, including format, creation and storage in the Directory and use of authentication information by applications. Simple authentication (password protected) and strong authentication (encrypted) are described.
The Directory makes use of both Public-key and Attribute Certificates and provides a framework for their use. Extensible specifications and a set of standard extensions schema are provided for: issuing, managing, using and revoking these certificates.
