Privilege Management in X.509 (2000)
Abstract

X.509(2000) is the first version to standardise the components of Privilege Management Infrastructures (PMIs). This complements X.509's position as the foremost standard for Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs). PMIs provide a distributed highly secure way of managing authorisation tokens (called attribute certificates), in the same way that PKIs provide an infrastructure for managing public key certificate authentication tokens. This presentation introduces delegates to the components and concepts of PMIs as described in Edition 4 of X.509.
