+Some notes on authenticating to AWS using X.509 certificates through the 
+AWS Roles Anywhere API.

-## Constraints
+## Important Constraints
+
+### Certificates
 
-End entity certificates must satisfy the following constraints to be used for authentication:
-- The certificates MUST be X.509v3.
-- Basic constraints MUST include CA: false.
-- The key usage MUST include Digital Signature.
-- The signing algorithm MUST include SHA256 or stronger. MD5 and SHA1 signing algorithms are rejected.

+### Keys
 
 > RSA and EC keys are supported; RSA keys are used with the RSA PKCS# v1.5 signing algorithm. EC keys are used with the ECDSA.
 
+This seems like a relatively small problem. The SPIFFE spec does not make 
+comment on permissible key types, and therefore, an implementation of SPIFFE
+could choose to use something other than EC or RSA. However, most
+implementations of SPIFFE today (e.g SPIRE, Teleport Workload Identity) use
+either EC or RSA as the default and indeed only support EC or RSA.
