Abstract

The subjectAltName X.509 extension described in [KEYM] provides a mechanism where information regarding the entity that signed and/or encrypted some data can be identified. However, there is a case where the subject may not be a concrete entity, but may be a 'role' within an organization or network. This document will specify a set of these roles and their definitions.
