Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI); Certificate Profiles; Part 2: Certificate profile for certificates issued to natural persons

The present document specifies requirements on the content of certificates issued to natural persons. This profile builds*on IETF RFC 5280 [1] for generic profiling of Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.3].*This profile supports the requirements of EU Qualified Certificates as specified in the Regulation (EU)*No 910/2014 [i.5] as well as other forms of certificate. The scope of the present document is primary limited to*facilitate interoperable processing and display of certificate information. This profile therefore excludes support for*some certificate information content options, which can be perfectly valid in a local context but which are not regarded*as relevant or suitable for use in widely deployed applications.*The present document focuses on requirements on certificate content. Requirements on decoding and processing rules*are limited to aspects required to process certificate content defined in the present document. Further processing*requirements are only specified for cases where it adds information that is necessary for the sake of interoperability.*Certain applications or protocols impose specific requirements on certificate content. The present document is based on*the assumption that these requirements are adequately defined by the respective application or protocol. It is therefore*outside the scope of the present document to specify such application or protocol specific certificate content.
