Information concerning the ESCB-PKI certification authority, including its identity, and its technical components
The ESCB-PKI certification authority is identified in its certificate as the issuer and its private key is used to sign certificates. The ESCB-PKI certification authority is in charge of:
(i)
issuing private and public key certificates;
(ii)
issuing revocation lists;
(iii)
generating key pairs associated with specific certificates, e.g. those that require key recovery;
(iv)
maintaining overall responsibility for the ESCB-PKI and ensuring that all the requirements necessary to operate it are met.
The ESCB-PKI certification authority includes all individuals, policies, procedures and computer systems entrusted with issuing electronic certificates and assigning them to the certificate subscribers.
The ESCB-PKI certification authority includes two technical components:
—
