5.1. Encoding (编码)

公钥证书使用 "CERTIFICATE" 标签进行编码。编码的数据必须是 BER (强烈建议使用 DER; 参见附录 B) 编码的 ASN.1 Certificate 结构, 如 [RFC5280] 第 4 节中所述。

图 6: 证书示例

历史上曾使用过标签 "X509 CERTIFICATE", 也较少使用 "X.509 CERTIFICATE"。符合本文档的生成器必须生成 "CERTIFICATE" 标签, 并且绝对不能生成 "X509 CERTIFICATE" 或 "X.509 CERTIFICATE" 标签。解析器不应该将 "X509 CERTIFICATE" 或 "X.509 CERTIFICATE" 视为等同于 "CERTIFICATE", 但一个有效的例外可能是为了向后兼容性 (可能还伴随着警告)。
