This document describes a protocol, called kx509, for using Kerberos
tickets to acquire X.509 certificates. These certificates may be
used for many of the same purposes as X.509 certificates acquired by
other means, but if a Kerberos infrastructure already exists, then
the overhead of using kx509 may be much less.
While not standardized, this protocol is already in use at several
large organizations, and certificates issued with this protocol are
recognized by the International Grid Trust Federation. This document
is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for
informational purposes.
