An attribute, as identified by some attribute ID, has some particular values. Values are as a rule ASN.1 printable strings. A conventional set of type IDs is recognized when parsing. The following shows the syntax: 

    Attribute   ::= SEQUENCE {
 type           AttributeType,
        value           SET OF AttributeValue
                -- at least one value is required --}

    AttributeType       ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER

    AttributeValue      ::= ANY
Refer to draft-ietf-pkix-ipki-part1-11 for the support attributes listed on page 96 of the internet draft. The are listed here for easy reference: name, common name, surname, given name, initials, generation qualifier, dn qualifier, country name, locality name, state or province name, organization name, organization unit name, title, pkcs9 email.
