Registration Authority

IEEE offers Registration Authority programs or registries which maintain lists of unique identifiers under standards and issue unique identifiers to those wishing to register them. The IEEE Registration Authority assigns unambiguous names to objects in a way which makes the assignment available to interested parties.

ACPCTREEID (ACPCTID): IEEE Std 1609.2.1™

IEEE Std 1609.2.1 specifies a mechanism for certificate management known as Activation Codes for Pseudonym Certificates (ACPC). Within this system, entities known as Certificate Access Managers (CAMs) create structures known as binary trees. The binary trees are used to derive access codes for the end entities managed by the CAM such that each access code is unique to a particular end entity and is used to decrypt that end entity’s certificates for a particular time period. The end-entity determines which access code to use based on a unique identifier within the tree, assigned by the CAM. The tree is assigned an identifier, known as the AcpcTreeId, which is globally unique within the entire system of devices that use IEEE Std 1609.2.1. The unique assignment of AcpcTreeId values is managed by the IEEE Registration Authority (IEEE RA). This form allows applications to request between 1 and 16 AcpcTreeId values.

For more details, see IEEE Std 1609.2.1 or the tutorial.
