1.  Introduction

  This document provides several certificate policy identifiers for
  testing certificate handling software.  These certificate policy
  identifiers are not intended for use in the public Internet.

  The certificate policy identifiers provided in this document are
  consistent with the certificate profile specified in [RFC5280].  They
  are appropriate for testing the certificate policy processing,
  especially the handling of the certificate policy extension, the
  policy constraints extension, and the policy mapping extension.

2.  Certificate Policy Identifiers for Testing

  The following certificate policy identifiers are provided for testing
  certificate handling software.  ASN.1 [ASN1-2008] object identifiers
  are used to name certificate policies.

     id-pkix OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
                 dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) }

     id-TEST OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix 13 }

     -- Object Identifiers used ONLY for TESTING
     id-TEST-certPolicyOne       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 1 }
     id-TEST-certPolicyTwo       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 2 }
     id-TEST-certPolicyThree     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 3 }
     id-TEST-certPolicyFour      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 4 }
     id-TEST-certPolicyFive      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 5 }
     id-TEST-certPolicySix       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 6 }
     id-TEST-certPolicySeven     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 7 }
     id-TEST-certPolicyEight     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 8 }

3.  Security Considerations

  This specification does not identify particular certificate policies
  for use in the Internet public key infrastructure.  The actual
  policies used for production certificates can have a significant
  impact on the confidence that one can place in the certificate.  No
  confidence should be placed in any certificate that makes use of
  these certificate policy identifiers, since they are intended only
  for testing.

4.  IANA Considerations

  The object identifiers used in this document are defined in an arc
  delegated by IANA to the PKIX Working Group.  No further action by
  IANA is necessary for this document or any anticipated updates.

Appendix A.  ASN.1 Module

  This appendix provides the certificate policy identifiers (object
  identifiers) in an ASN.1 module.  No fancy structures are needed, so
  this module is compatible with [ASN1-2008].

  PKIXTestCertPolicies { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6)
     internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) id-mod(0)
     id-mod-TEST-certPolicies(83) }

  DEFINITIONS IMPLICIT TAGS ::=

  -- EXPORTS ALL --
  -- IMPORTS NONE --

  id-pkix OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
              dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) }
