Title : Auto Issued X.509 Certificate Mechanism (AIXCM)
Author(s) : T. Moreau
Filename : draft-moreau-pkix-aixcm-00.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2008-08-06
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol does not support the use
of client public key pairs without X.509 security certificates. This
document circumvents this limitation: an end-entity has access to
the public domain private key of a dummy (or "explicitly
meaningless") Certification Authority (CA), and can thus freely
issue an X.509 security certificate for interoperability purposes.
Given these workaround requirement and solution approach, the
document limits itself to the strict minimal set of standardization
provisions. This supports the orderly cohabitation of auto issued
certificates and normal TLS traffic relying on the full Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) model.
