Abstract
This memo describes a method of storing parameters needed forprivate-key validation in the Private-Key Information SyntaxSpecification as defined in PKCS#8 format (RFC 5208). It is equallyapplicable to the alternative implementation of the Private-KeyInformation Syntax Specification as defined in RFC 5958.
The approach described in this document encodes the parameters undera private enterprise extension and does not form part of a formalstandard.
