La struttura X.509 ha avuto origine nei gruppi di lavoro International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Questa struttura può essere usata per rappresentare vari tipi di informazioni, tra cui attributi di identità, diritti e titolari (autorizzazioni, età, sesso, posizione, affiliazione e così via). Sebbene le specifiche ISO siano più informative sulla struttura stessa, la X509Certificate2 classe è progettata per modellare gli scenari di utilizzo definiti nelle specifiche rilasciate dal gruppo di lavoro Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), X.509 (PKIX). La più informativa di queste specifiche è RFC 3280, "Certificato e elenco di revoche di certificati (CRL) Profile".
