UTCTime's are two-digit years. GENERALIZED time's are four-digit years. The X509 data structures are generally a Time, which is a CHOICE of either two; the IETF PKIX profile specifies that 50-99 are 1900, 00-49 are 2000. Stephen is adding support for all this to the code base (and is basically don

The x.509 definition allows either UTCtime or GeneralizedTime. GeneralizedTime supports a 4-digit year. The usual understanding is that 2-digit years in the range 50-99 should be interpreted as 1950-1999 and the range 00-49 as 2000-2049. This is documented in RFC2459 "Internet X.509 Public Key I
