ITU-T recommendations for X.509v3 certificates

The ITU recently started allowing free downloads of all their  
standards. The ASN.1 standards have been free for download for several  
years. You can download them at <http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X/en>.

I can't help you there. You can see my opinion on this issue towards  
the middle of Peter Gutmann's page at <http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/
