Abstract

   This document forms a certificate profile for Proxy Certificates,
   based on X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates as
   defined in RFC 3280, for use in the Internet.  The term Proxy
   Certificate is used to describe a certificate that is derived from,
   and signed by, a normal X.509 Public Key End Entity Certificate or by
   another Proxy Certificate for the purpose of providing restricted
   proxying and delegation within a PKI based authentication system.
