Imports

The Authority Information Access Extension (OID = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.1).

The AIA extension identifies how to access CA information and services for the certificate in which it appears. It enables CAs to issue their certificates pre-configured with the URLs appropriate for contacting services relevant to those certificates. For example, a CA may issue a certificate that identifies the specific OCSP Responder to use when performing on-line validation of that certificate.

This extension is defined in Internet X.509 PKI Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile. The profile permits the extension to be included in end-entity or CA certificates, and it must be marked as non-critical. Its ASN.1 definition is as follows: 

  id-pe-authorityInfoAccess OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pe 1 }

  AuthorityInfoAccessSyntax  ::=
        SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF AccessDescription

  AccessDescription  ::=  SEQUENCE {
        accessMethod          OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
        accessLocation        GeneralName  }
