The Novell Security Attributes extension is used to specify the cryptographic qualities of the key and the environment in which the key was generated. In addition, it can be used to identify the enterprise that the subject (of the X.509 certificate) belongs to. The Novell Security Attributes extension specific flags are optional flags that can be used to specify values to be encoded into the Novell Security Attributes extension. If no extension specific flags are set, the lowest cryptographic qualities are encoded.
