5 Draft ETSI EN 319 412-2 V2.4.0 (2025-03)
Introduction
ITU and ISO issued standards for certification of public keys in Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.3]
which are used for the security of communications and data for a wide range of electronic applications.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.5] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic
identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC
defines requirements on specific types of certificates named "qualified certificates". Implementation of Directive
1999/93/EC [i.1] and deployment of certificate infrastructures throughout Europe as well as in countries outside of
Europe, have resulted in a variety of certificate implementations for use in public and closed environments, where some
are declared as qualified certificates while others are not.
Applications need support from standardized identity certificate profiles, in particular when applications are used for
digital signatures, authentication and secure electronic exchange in open environments and international trust scenarios,
but also when certificates are used in local application contexts.
This multi-part deliverable aims to maximize the interoperability of systems issuing and using certificates both in the
European context under the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.5] and in the wider international environment.
