Update to the Object Identifier Registry for the PKIX Working Group
Abstract
RFC 7299 describes the object identifiers that were assigned by the
Public Key Infrastructure using X.509 (PKIX) Working Group in an arc
that was allocated by IANA (1.3.6.1.5.5.7). A small number of object
identifiers that were assigned in RFC 4212 are omitted from RFC 7299,
and this document updates RFC 7299 to correct that oversight.

1. Introduction
When the Public Key Infrastructure using X.509 (PKIX) Working Group
was chartered, an object identifier arc was allocated by IANA for use
by that working group. After the PKIX Working Group was closed, RFC
7299 [RFC7299] was published to describe the object identifiers that
were assigned in that arc. A small number of object identifiers that
were assigned in RFC 4212 [RFC4212] are not included in RFC 7299, and
this document corrects that oversight.
The PKIX Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) [RFC4210] allocated
id-regCtrl-altCertTemplate (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.5.1.7), and then two object
identifiers were assigned within that arc [RFC4212], which were
intended to be used with either PKIX CMP [RFC4210] or PKIX
Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) [RFC5272] [RFC5273] [RFC5274]
[RFC6402].
This document describes the object identifiers that were assigned in
that arc, establishes an IANA registry for that arc, and establishes
IANA allocation policies for any future assignments within that arc.
2. IANA Considerations
IANA has created a new subregistry.
2.1. "SMI Security for PKIX CRMF Registration Controls for Alternate
Certificate Formats" Registry
Within the "Structure of Management Information (SMI) Numbers (MIB
Module Registrations)" registry, IANA has created the "SMI Security
for PKIX CRMF Registration Controls for Alternate Certificate
Formats" subregistry (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.5.1.7). The initial contents of
this subregistry are as follows:
+=========+===========================+============+
| Decimal | Description | References |
+=========+===========================+============+
| 1 | id-acTemplate | [RFC4212] |
+---------+---------------------------+------------+
| 2 | id-openPGPCertTemplateExt | [RFC4212] |
+---------+---------------------------+------------+
Table 1: New SMI Security for PKIX CRMF
Registration Controls for Alternate Certificate
Formats Subregistry
Future updates to the registry table are to be made according to the
Specification Required policy defined in [RFC8126]. The expert is
expected to ensure that any new values are strongly related to the
work that was done by the PKIX Working Group. In particular,
additional object identifiers should be needed for use with either
the PKIX CMP or PKIX CMC to support alternative certificate formats.
Object identifiers for other purposes should not be assigned in this
arc.
3. Security Considerations
This document populates an IANA registry, and it raises no new
security considerations. The protocols that specify these values
include the security considerations associated with their usage.
