IPRs essential or potentially essential to the present document may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web

Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electronic Signatures and
Infrastructures (ESI).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable on policy requirements for Trust Service Providers issuing
certificate as identified below:
Part 1: "General requirements";
Part 2: "Requirements for trust service providers issuing EU qualified certificates".
The present document is derived from the requirements specified in ETSI TS 102 042 "Policy requirements for
certification authorities issuing public key certificates" [i.6] that has been updated as detailed in annex B.
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
Electronic commerce, in its broadest sense, is a way of doing business and communicating across public and private
networks. An important requirement of electronic commerce is the ability to identify the originator and protect the
confidentiality of electronic exchanges. This is commonly achieved by using cryptographic mechanisms which are
supported by a Trust Service Provider (TSP) issuing certificates, commonly called a Certification Authority (CA).
For participants of electronic commerce to have confidence in the security of these cryptographic mechanisms they
need to have confidence that the TSP has properly established procedures and protective measure in order to minimize
the operational and financial threats and risks associated with public key cryptographic systems.
The present document is aiming to meet the general requirements of the international community to provide trust and
confidence in electronic transactions including, amongst others, applicable requirements from Regulation (EU)
No 910/2014 [i.15] and those from CA/Browser Forum, BRG [5].
Bodies wishing to establish policy requirements for TSPs issuing certificates in a regulatory context other than the EU
can base their requirements specified in the present document and specifying any additional requirements in a manner
similar to ETSI TS 119 411-2 [i.5], which builds on the present document requirements so as to benefit from the use of
generally accepted global best practices.

1 Scope
The present document specifies generally applicable policy and security requirements for Trust Service Providers (TSP)
issuing public key certificates, including trusted web site certificates.
The policy and security requirements are defined in terms of requirements for the issuance, maintenance and life-cycle
management of certificates. These policy and security requirements support six reference certificate policies, defined in
clause 5.
A framework for the definition of policy requirements for TSPs issuing certificates in a specific context where
particular requirements apply is defined in clause 7.
The present document is applicable to:
• the general requirements of certification in support of cryptographic mechanisms, including digital signatures
and seals;
• the general requirements of certification authorities issuing TLS/SSL certificates;
• the general requirements of the use of cryptography for authentication and encryption.
The present document does not specify how the requirements identified can be assessed by an independent party,
including requirements for information to be made available to such independent assessors, or requirements on such
assessors.
NOTE: See ETSI TS 119 403 [i.2] for guidance on assessment of TSP processes and services. The present
document references ETSI TS 119 401 [8] for general policy requirements common to all classes of TSP
services.
The present document however provides in annex C, a check list of the policy requirements specific to TSP issuing
certificates (as expressed in the present document) including the generic requirements which are independent of the type
of service (as expressed in ETSI TS 119 401 [8]).
The present document includes provisions consistent with the requirements from the CA/Browser Forum in EVCG [4]
and BRG [5].
