Subject: Protocol Action: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure 
	   Permanent Identifier to Proposed Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Internet X.509 Public Key
Infrastructure - Permanent Identifier' <draft-ietf-pkix-pi-06.txt> as
a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the PKIX Working

Technical Summary

This document define a new form of name, called permanent identifier,
that may be included in the subjectAltName extension of an X.509
version 3 public key certificate. The permanent identifier is an
optional feature that may be used by a Certification Authority (CA) to
indicate that the certificate relates to the same entity even if the
name or the affiliation of that entity stored in the subject or
another name form in the subjectAltName extension has changed. The
subject name, carried in the subject field, is only unique for each
subject entity certified by the one CA as identified by the issuer
name field. Also, the new name form can carry a name that is unique
for each subject entity certified by a CA.
