Comentários

A estrutura X.509 originou-se nos grupos de trabalho da Organização Internacional para a Padronização (ISO). Essa estrutura pode ser usada para representar vários tipos de informações, incluindo atributos de identidade, direito e titular (permissões, idade, sexo, localização, afiliação e assim por diante). Embora as especificações ISO sejam mais informativas sobre a própria estrutura, a classe X509Certificate2 foi projetada para modelar os cenários de uso definidos nas especificações emitidas pelo X.509 (PKIX) da Infraestrutura de Chave Pública, grupo de trabalho da IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). A mais informativa dessas especificações é RFC 3280, "Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile".
