RFC 7030: Enrollment over Secure Transport

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8951, RFC 8996, RFC 9908. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document profiles certificate enrollment for clients using Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) messages over a secure transport. This profile, called Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST), describes a simple, yet functional, certificate management protocol targeting Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) clients that need to acquire client certificates and associated Certification Authority (CA) certificates. It also supports client-generated public/private key pairs as well as key pairs generated by the CA.
