RFC 9618
Title: Updates to X.509 Policy Validation
Author: D. Benjamin
Status: Standards Track
Stream: IETF
Date: August 2024
Mailbox: davidben@google.com
Pages: 19
Updates: RFC 5280
I-D Tag: draft-ietf-lamps-x509-policy-graph-05.txt
URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9618
DOI: 10.17487/RFC9618
This document updates RFC 5280 to replace the algorithm for X.509
policy validation with an equivalent, more efficient algorithm. The
original algorithm built a structure that scaled exponentially in the
worst case, leaving implementations vulnerable to denial-of-service
attacks.
This document is a product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
