The PKIX (Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509)) Working Group of the IETF (The
Internet Engineering Task Force) has defined a number of certificate
management protocols. These protocols are primarily focused on X.509v3
public-key certificates. However, it is sometimes desirable to manage
certificates in alternative formats as well. This document specifies how
such certificates may be requested using the CRMF (Certificate Request
Message Format) syntax that is used by several different protocols. It also
explains how alternative certificate formats may be incorporated into such
popular protocols as PKIX-CMP (PKIX Certificate Management Protocol) and
CMC (Certificate Management Messages over CMS).
