Abstract

One of the most strategic problems still open in PKIX is locating

public data and services associated with a Certification Authority

(CA). This issue impacts interoperability and usability in PKIX.

This draft describes the PKI Resource Query Protocol (PRQP), its

design, definition, and its impact in already deployed PKIX

protocols.
