WG,

>From the perspective of a user or a profile specification allowing the use
of X509 and C509 in, for example, COSE messages has there been any
discussion about terminology in the sense of the following:

Is it expected that the term "PKIX" will exclusively refer to X.509 as
defined in RFC 5280? Or will PKIX be an umbrella term to include C509 as an
equivalent encoding of the same information model? Possibly "public key
certificate" is a better general purpose term, though a little more narrow
in scope (a single credential) than what PKIX would imply (the whole PKI).

 

Any thoughts about this?
