Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) S. Farrell Request for Comments: 5755 Trinity College Dublin Obsoletes: 3281 R. Housley Category: Standards Track Vigil Security ISSN: 2070-1721 S. Turner IECA January 2010 An Internet Attribute Certificate Profile for Authorization Abstract This specification defines a profile for the use of X.509 Attribute Certificates in Internet Protocols. Attribute certificates may be used in a wide range of applications and environments covering a broad spectrum of interoperability goals and a broader spectrum of operational and assurance requirements. The goal of this document is to establish a common baseline for generic applications requiring broad interoperability as well as limited special purpose requirements. The profile places emphasis on attribute certificate support for Internet electronic mail, IPsec, and WWW security applications. This document obsoletes RFC 3281.
