I have couple of questions about X.509 v3 certificates in
general.
I have a system in which we were communicating keys using files/records.
I now want to migrate to certificates. There are fields in the record
which do not have a corresponding extension in X.509 spec. How can i
encode them in a certificate ? Is it possible at all to do so by having
user specified Extensions in the certificate ? If yes, then what are the
OIDs i can use and how to go about with the encoding ?
Can the Extended Key Usage field have user defined Key Purpose Ids ?
I will be having my own parser to parse the certificates but i would like
to be as close to the X.509 spec as possible.
Thanks,
- Pooja
