Abstract


   This document specifies an attribute for a statement of possession of
   a private key by a certificate subject.  As part of X.509 certificate
   enrollment, a Certification Authority (CA) typically demands proof
   that the subject possesses the private key that corresponds to the
   to-be-certified public key.  In some cases, a CA might accept a
   signed statement from the certificate subject.  For example, when a
   certificate subject needs separate certificates for signature and key
   establishment, a statement that can be validated with the previously
   issued signature certificate for the same subject might be adequate
   for subsequent issuance of the key establishment certificate.
