X.509-strukturen har sitt ursprung i iso-arbetsgrupperna (International Organization for Standardization). Den här strukturen kan användas för att representera olika typer av information, inklusive identitets-, berättigande- och innehavarattribut (behörigheter, ålder, kön, plats, anknytning och så vidare). Även om ISO-specifikationerna är mest informativa för själva strukturen, X509Certificate2 är klassen utformad för att modellera användningsscenarier som definieras i specifikationer som utfärdats av IETF-arbetsgruppen (Internet Engineering Task Force) public key infrastructure, X.509 (PKIX). Den mest informativa av dessa specifikationer är RFC 3280, "CRL-profil (Certificate and Certificate Revocation List).
