Hi,

RFC 3647 defines certificte renewal as follows:
Certificate renewal means the issuance of a new certificate to the subscriber 
without changing the
subscriber or other participant's public key or any other information in the certificate.

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3647.html (section 4.4.6)

Best regards,
Arsen.

Hi,

My apologies for a slightly off-topic question. When certificates are renewed 
in most scenarios, is it usual to generate a new RSA key pair or would a client 
re-use the existing keys and just ask for a new certificate with those keys?

Thanks for any guidance or pointers...

Regards,

Carl
