Certificate Policies (CP) and the Certification Practice Statement (CPS) constitute a basis for the accreditation of a Certification Authority (CA). By definition: The CP, is a named set of rules that indicate the applicability of a certificate to a particular community and/or class of application with common security requirements; The CPS, is a detailed statement of practices and operational procedures which a CA employs in the issuance of certificates. As a CA, Netrust makes a statement of association when it issues a certificate. It means that the certificate is associated with the person or equipment uniquely named within that certificate. However, the extent to which Netrust Relying Parties rely on that statement needs to be assessed by the Netrust Relying Parties.
