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
