The Public-Key Infrastructure using X.509 (PKIX) Working Group of the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has defined a number of
certificate management protocols. These protocols are primarily
focused on X.509v3 public-key certificates. However, it is sometimes
desirable to manage certificates in alternative formats as well. This
document specifies how such certificates may be requested using the
Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) syntax that is used by
several different protocols. It also explains how alternative
certificate formats may be incorporated into such popular protocols as
PKIX Certificate Management Protocol (PKIX-CMP) and Certificate
Management Messages over CMS (CMC).
