Definition

KEYMAN is a message providing for security key and certificate management. The message can be used to transmit a public key or a reference to a certificate used with asymmetric algorithms.

Principles

The message may be used to deliver security keys, certificates, or certification paths (this includes requesting other key and certificate management actions, for example renewing, replacing or revoking certificates, and delivering other information, such as certificate status), and it may be used to deliver lists of certificates (for e example to indicate which certificates have been revoked).

A security key and certificate management message can be used to deliver keys, certificates, and related information.
