<BR>
My name is Stefan Santesson and I’m co-chair of the PKIX working group in the IETF.<BR>
The PKIX work group is responsible for the PKI related standards produced in the IETF, among those the very first certificate standard RFC 2459.<BR>
<BR>
RFC 2459 is referenced through out section 4.10.11. The keygen element.<BR>
The problem is that RFC 2459 was obsoleted years ago by RFC 3279 and RFC 3280 back in 2002. RFC 3280 was further Obsoleted by RFC 5280 in 2008 while RFC 3279 has been updated by the RFCs 4055, 4491 and 5480.<BR>
<BR>
For example the following text in HTML 5<BR>
<BR>
“3. Let algorithm be an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier structure as defined by RFC2459, with the algorithm field giving the ASN.1 OID used to identify signature algorithm, using the OIDs defined in section 7.2 ("Signature Algorithms") of RFC2459, and the parameters field set up as required by RFC2459 for AlgorithmIdentifier structures for that algorithm. [X690] [RFC2459]”<BR>
<BR>
The se aspects of section 7.2. of RFC 2459 was moved to RFC 3279, which in turn has been updated by the RFCs listed above.<BR>
<BR>
I would recommend that you look over these references.<BR>
