Abstract:
This document defines the syntax and semantics for the Clearance attribute
and the Authority Clearance Constraints extension in X.509 certificates. The Clearance attribute is used to
indicate the clearance held by the subject. The Clearance attribute may appear in the subject
directory attributes extension of a public key certificate or in the attributes field of an
attribute certificate. The Authority Clearance Constraints certificate extension values in a
Trust Anchor (TA), in Certification Authority (CA) public key certificates, and in an Attribute
Authority (AA) public key certificate in a certification path for a given subject constrain
the effective Clearance of the subject. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
