Basic certification practices statement of class 1
This object identifier (OID) describes our basic certification practices statement of class 1.
Class1 Certification authority (CA) identification - "e.g openosiCA1-DC"
*openosiCA1-DC* issues class 1 certificates with DN ( Distinguished Names) complying with DC scheme, that is using *dc components* instead of classical Organisation (o) and Country (c) components. This certificate practice statement (CPS) with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.27630.1.1 defines a basic security framework for open source authentication of end entities. This OID is embedded in certificates issued by "openosiCA1-DC" which is a subordinate CA of our class 3 root certification authority "openosiCA3-EU"
The openOSI *_Basic certificate policy_* defines our set of rules for usage, extended usage, enrollment and issuance procedures, as well as corresponding liability issues of openosi class1 certificates. Our Basic certificate policy is independent of the certified entity ([Virtual person|auth:Virtual identities]) that is, there si no "name constraints". The enforcement of our certificate policy relies on _software workers_ coming from the open source community as stated in OID [1.3.6.1.4.1.27630.1.0] . The level of assurance is achieved using +Robot intelligence+ as follows:
- * Robot verification of virtual identity
- * Temporary credentials supplied in the request
- * Robot processing of an approved request
This *_Basic certification practices statement_* (basic) helps the user of an X.509 certificate to determine the level of trust that its organization or given services can put in the certificates that are issued by the openosiCA1-DC certification authority embedding *this OID*. For this basic level of assurance openOSI define several *_certificate profile_*. For each certificate profile there is an appropriate process for authentication with basic level of assurance.
- * Common certificate profile elements for class 1 level of assurance OID [1.3.6.1.4.1.27630.1.0]
- * Certificate profile for virtual persons OID [1.3.6.1.4.1.27630.1.1.2]
Objective
With this OID, the aim of openOSI is to publish its certificate policy as a support service, and as a legal framework. It is also an enabling Internet2 service providing class 1 certificates. For other class (level of assurance) see OID [1.3.6.1.4.1.27630.1]
As an Identity provider *openOSI* is a certification authority providing free class 1 certificates, mainly for [virtual persons|auth:Virtual identities]. See also ([1.3.6.1.4.1.27630.1.0.9.1] DESC 'fees' )
Usage
The usage of certificate policy is to process an X.509 extension called "certificate policy" [RFC3280|http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/rfc3280/]. "Applications with specific policy requirements are expected to have a list of those policies which they will accept and to compare the policy OIDs in the certificate to that list".
