Overview

ISO/IEC 9594-12:2025 (Recommendation ITU‑T X.508) extends the Directory series by providing guidance on key management and the establishment and maintenance of public‑key infrastructure (PKI). It supplements ISO/IEC 9594‑8 (X.509) and ISO/IEC 9594‑11 (X.510) with an extended description of already‑defined cryptographic algorithms, best‑practice procedures for PKI lifecycle management, and considerations for migration to post‑quantum algorithms. The document explicitly does not define new cryptographic algorithms but discusses algorithm selection, security strength, and future‑proofing (crypto agility).

Key technical topics and requirements

• Cryptographic algorithm overview: formal specification practices, security properties, strength metrics, one‑way functions, and entropy/random number generation.
• Symmetric and hash algorithms: requirements for encryption modes, authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD), and hashing considerations.
• Public‑key and signature algorithms: guidance on public‑key cryptography, asymmetric ciphers, digital signatures, and key establishment.
• Post‑quantum considerations: migration strategies, crypto agility principles, and high‑level discussion of quantum‑threat models.
• Integrity and key establishment: integrity check value (ICV) algorithms and secure key establishment mechanisms.
• Hardware Security Modules (HSMs): recommended roles and protections for key storage and cryptographic operations.
• PKI establishment & maintenance: best practices for certificate policy, certification authority (CA) roles, certificate content and extensions (e.g., key usage, subjectAltName, authority info), revocation handling, and certificate chaining.
• M2M, IoT and smart grid adaptation: procedures and interoperability recommendations for machine‑to‑machine (M2M), industrial IoT and intelligent electricity networks.

Practical applications

• Designing and operating enterprise PKI, including CA deployment, certificate lifecycle, and revocation processes.
• Securing IoT and smart grid deployments where constrained devices and large M2M ecosystems require tailored PKI procedures.
• Guiding migration plans toward post‑quantum cryptography while preserving interoperability.
• Informing procurement and implementation of HSMs, RNG sources, and crypto libraries used in critical infrastructure.
• Supporting auditors, compliance teams, and security architects in aligning implementations with international PKI best practices.

Who should use this standard

• PKI architects and security engineers
• Certificate Authorities (CAs) and registration authorities (RAs)
• IoT and smart grid system designers
• HSM vendors and integrators
• Standards and compliance officers

Related standards

• ISO/IEC 9594‑8 (ITU‑T X.509) - Public‑key certificate framework
• ISO/IEC 9594‑11 (ITU‑T X.510) - Directory services
• ISO/IEC 9594 series - The Directory family

ISO/IEC 9594‑12:2025 is essential reading for anyone designing interoperable, future‑resistant PKI for modern M2M, IoT and critical infrastructure environments.

RECOMMENDATION ITU-T X.508
Information technology – Open Systems Interconnection – The Directory: Key management
and public-key infrastructure establishment and maintenance

Summary
Recommendation ITU-T X.508 | ISO/IEC 9594-12 is intended to fill the gap between Recommendation ITU-T X.509 |
ISO/IEC 9594-8 and Recommendation ITU-T X.510 | ISO/IEC 9594-11 by giving a description of selected cryptographic
algorithms with references to more detailed specifications. To establish the theory behind the cryptographic algorithm, an
informative annex gives in introduction to the supporting mathematics. Also, some considerations on migration to post
quantum algorithm are included.
Section 3 provides a best practice guideline for establishing and maintaining a public-key infrastructure (PKI) with
emphasis on environments outside the traditional PKI environments, such as guidance for establishing a PKI for networks
of Internet of things (IoT) and smart grid.

FOREWORD
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, and information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes
the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.
The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

NOTE
In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some other
obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of
such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve
the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or
applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of
the Recommendation development process.
As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property,
protected by patents/software copyrights, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.
However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore
strongly urged to consult the appropriate ITU-T databases available via the ITU-T website at
https://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.
