As we defined in new certificate format (http://gerrit.named-data.net/#/c/2101/, http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/2861), there will be an non-critical extension AdditionalDescription. As defined in the certificate spec:  

 > AdditionalDescription is a non-critical extension that provides additional 
 > information about the certificate.    The information is expressed as a set of 
 > key-value pairs.    Both key and value are UTF-8 strings, e.g., 
 > ("Organization", "UCLA"). The issuer of a certificate can specify arbitrary 
 > key-value pair to provide additional description about the certificate.
