Re: registration authorities




Steve


a CA is a Certification Authority, and not necessarily a Registration Authority. Conceptually and operationally they are different and therefore there should always be an allowance for this.

Hi all,


In RFC 3739 (Qualified Certificates Profile), we do have a place to state the name of the registration authorities that registered the names and attributes present in the certificate.


Is there any standard way to do it in non-qualified certificates?


Thanks in advance


Carlos
