1. Introduction
This document provides several certificate policy identifiers for
testing certificate handling software. These certificate policy
identifiers are not intended for use in the public Internet.
The certificate policy identifiers provided in this document are
consistent with the certificate profile specified in [RFC5280]. They
are appropriate for testing the certificate policy processing,
especially the handling of the certificate policy extension, the
policy constraints extension, and the policy mapping extension.
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.
id-pkix OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) }
id-TEST OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix 13 }
-- Object Identifiers used ONLY for TESTING
id-TEST-certPolicyOne OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 1 }
id-TEST-certPolicyTwo OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 2 }
id-TEST-certPolicyThree OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 3 }
id-TEST-certPolicyFour OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 4 }
id-TEST-certPolicyFive OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 5 }
id-TEST-certPolicySix OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 6 }
id-TEST-certPolicySeven OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 7 }
id-TEST-certPolicyEight OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-TEST 8 }
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.

Appendix A. ASN.1 Module
This 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].
