Abstract

Certificates in PKI using X.509 (PKIX) are used for a number of
purposes, the most significant of which is the authentication of
domain names. Thus, certificate authorities in the Web PKI are
trusted to verify that an applicant for a certificate legitimately
represents the domain name(s) in the certificate. Today, this
verification is done through a collection of ad hoc mechanisms. This
document describes a protocol that a certification authority (CA) and
an applicant can use to automate the process of verification and
certificate issuance. The protocol also provides facilities for
other certificate management functions, such as certificate
revocation.
