Subject: sixth revision of the draft 4th edition of X.509 is on the server
hello
some of you observant readers out there have found a few more
problems in the text. we have corrected them.
a sixth revision of the draft 4th edition of x509 is on the directory
server in both pdf and office 98 formats. the urls are:
ftp://ftp.bull.com/pub/OSIdirectory/4thEditionTexts/X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.doc
ftp://ftp.bull.com/pub/OSIdirectory/4thEditionTexts/X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf
this revision (v6) contains corrections in three areas:
1) Subject versus holder
In the attribute certificate match matching rule (asn.1 and descriptive
text), the terminology needs to be updated to reflect the technical
agreement that attribute certificates are issued to holders, not to
subjects.
In clause 17.3.2, and in Annex A in the attribute certificate framework
module, in the AttributeCertificateAssertion ASN.1 production:
replace "subject" with "holder" and replace "subjectName" with "holderName"
In clause 17.3.2 in the 2nd bullet following the ASN.1, replace "subjectName"
with "holderName".
2) Optional authority key id
The authority key identifier component in the certificate list
assertion syntax, should be optional.
In clause 11.3.6 and in the certificate extensions module of Annex A, in the
CertificateListAssertion ASN.1 production;
replace:
authorityKeyIdentifier [3] AuthorityKeyIdentifier}
with:
authorityKeyIdentifier [3] AuthorityKeyIdentifier OPTIONAL }
3) Optional serial number
The syntax of the attribute certificate exact matching rule should be
aligned to that of the attribute certificate issuer.
In clause 17.3.1 and in the attribute certificate framework module of Annex
A, in the AttributeCertificateExactAssertion ASN.1 production:
replace
serialNumber CertificateSerialNumber,
with
serialNumber CertificateSerialNumber OPTIONAL,
The ISO ballot on this text will close 28 November. The document will
then be formally published and available for purchase shortly after
that date. I will remove the copy of this document from the server at
that time.
keep those cards and letters coming
