Latest freely available X.500 Specifications

The X.500 Standards documentation can be found on the website of the International Telecommunications Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T).

According to an agreement between ISO/IEC and ITU-T text common for the two organisations is not unconditionally freely available, as it is the case for ITU-T only Recommendations.

Common text will be freely available one year after publication by ISO/IEC. However, there a few documents ISO/IEC considered of special commercial interest. Such document will only be freely available when ISO/IEC has published the next following edition. Unfortunately X.501 and X.509 are by ISO/IEC considers of special economical interest.

 In the table below you can either:
  • Follow the "Latest" link to download the latest freely available edition of the document
  • Follow the "Other" link to get a wider choice, like allowing allowing access to earlier editions.

Technical corrigenda are available by following the "Here" link.
