Object Identifiers for Test Certificate Policies
Housley Informational [Page 1]
RFC 7229 PKIX TEST OIDs May 2014 1. IntroductionThis document provides several certificate policy identifiers for testing certificate handling software. These certificate policy identifiers are not intended for use in the public Internet.
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.
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.

RFC 7229 PKIX TEST OIDs May 2014 Appendix A. ASN.1 ModuleThis 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].
