Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Registered Objects

Six objects have been registered to support the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission policies for PKI. The first object is an arc for the FERC policies.

-- the FERC policy arc
id-ferc-policies OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { csor-certpolicy 22}

-- the ferc policy OIDS

These OIDs have been assigned to this agency; however, the Certificate Policy is not publicly available.

PKI Pilots and Testing Registered Objects

There are 257 objects registered to support PKI pilots and testing. These objects define an arc for policies associated and 256 distinct policies. These policies should never be inserted in "real" certificates, and no relying party should ever accept such a certificate to implement security services in a "real" application! Note that the 256 policies are all equivalent and are defined within the "Test Certificate Policy to Support PKI Pilots and Testing" document.
