Introduction
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1] 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
(commonly called eIDAS) defines requirements on specific types of certificates named "qualified certificates".
Directive (EU) 2015/2366 [i.2] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on payment
services in the internal market, amending Directives 2002/65/EC, 2009/110/EC and 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU)
No 1093/2010, and repealing Directive 2007/64/EC (commonly called PSD2) defines requirements on communication
among payment service providers and account servicing institutions.
The Commission Delegated Regulation with regard to Regulatory Technical Standards on strong customer
authentication and secure communication (RTS henceforth) [i.3] is key to achieving the objective of the PSD2
(Directive (EU) 2015/2366 [i.2]) of enhancing consumer protection, promoting innovation and improving the security
of payment services across the European Union. The RTS defines requirements on the use of qualified certificates (as
defined in eIDAS) for website authentication and qualified certificates for electronic seal for communication among
payment and bank account information institutions.
The present document defines a standard for implementing the requirements of the RTS [i.3] for use of qualified
certificates as defined in eIDAS (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1]) to meet the regulatory requirements of PSD2
(Directive (EU) 2015/2366 [i.2]).

1 Scope
The present document:
1) Specifies profiles of qualified certificates for electronic seals and website authentication, to be used by
payment service providers in order to meet the requirements of the PSD2 Regulatory Technical Standards
(RTS) [i.3]. Certificates for electronic seals can be used for providing evidence with legal assumption of
authenticity (including identification and authentication of the source) and integrity of a transaction.
Certificates for website authentication can be used for identification and authentication of the communicating
parties and securing communications. Communicating parties can be payment initiation service providers,
account information service providers, payment service providers issuing card-based payment instruments or
account servicing payment service providers. These profiles are based on ETSI EN 319 412-1 [1], ETSI
EN 319 412-3 [2], ETSI EN 319 412-4 [3], IETF RFC 3739 [6] and ETSI EN 319 412-5 [i.6] (by indirect
reference).
2) Specifies additional TSP policy requirements for the management (including verification and revocation) of
additional certificate attributes as required by the above profiles. These policy requirements extend the
requirements in ETSI EN 319 411-2 [4].

4 General concepts
4.1 Use of Qualified Certificates
RTS [i.3] Article 34.1 requires that, for the purpose of identification, payment service providers rely on qualified
certificates for electronic seals or qualified certificates for website authentication.
A website authentication certificate makes it possible to establish a Transport Layer Security (TLS) channel with the
subject of the certificate, which guarantees confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of all data transferred through the
channel.
A certificate for electronic seals allows the relying party to validate the identity of the subject of the certificate, as well
as the authenticity and integrity of the sealed data, and also prove it to third parties. The electronic seal provides strong
evidence, capable of having legal effect, that given data is originated by the legal entity identified in the certificate.
NOTE: Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1] requires that TSPs issuing qualified certificates demonstrate that they
meet the requirements for qualified trust service providers as per the regulation. ETSI standards
referenced in the present document include those aimed at meeting these requirements. Granting a
"qualified" status to a TSP is the decision of the national supervisory body.
4.2 Roles
According to RTS [i.3] the role of the payment service provider can be one or more of the following:
i) account servicing (PSP_AS);
ii) payment initiation (PSP_PI);
iii) account information (PSP_AI);
iv) issuing of card-based payment instruments (PSP_IC).
A PSP can be authorized by their national competent authority (NCA) to act in one or more PSD2 roles.
4.3 Payment Service Provider Authorizations and Services
Passporting
According to PSD2 [i.2] and Credit Institutions Directive [i.4], the competent authority (NCA) responsible for payment
services approves or rejects authorization of PSPs in their own country. If authorization is granted, the NCA issues an
authorization number and publishes that information in its public register(s). Subject to NCA approval PSPs can
exercise the right of establishment and freedom to provide services in other member states. This is called passporting.
Information about passporting is published in the public register in the home country of the PSP.
Certificates issued according to the requirements laid down in the present document do not include any attributes
regarding passporting.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
8 ETSI TS 119 495 V1.1.2 (2018-07)
4.4 Authorization Number
For identification, the RTS [i.3] requires the registration number used in a qualified certificate, as stated in the official
records in accordance with Annex III item I of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1], to be the authorization number of
the payment service provider. This authorization number is required to be available in the National Competent
Authority public register pursuant to Article 14 of PSD2 [i.2] or resulting from the notifications of every authorization
granted under Article 8 of Directive 2013/36/EU [i.4] in accordance with Article 20 of that Directive.
4.5 Registration and Certificate Issuance
Figure 1 presents the general concept of registration and certificate issuance. The qualified certificate contains an
authorization number of the PSP, which has been issued/specified by a National Competent Authority (NCA), and is
publicly available in that NCA public register.

Figure 1: PSP Registration and certificate issuance
Before the issuance process can start, the PSP needs to be registered by an NCA and all relevant information needs to
be available in public register:
1) The PSP submits the certificate application and provides all necessary documentation containing PSD2
specific attributes to the Trust Service Provider (TSP) with granted qualified status according to eIDAS [i.1].
2) The TSP performs identity validation as required by its certificate policy.
3) The TSP validates PSD2 specific attributes using information provided by the NCA (e.g. public register,
authenticated letter).
4) The TSP issues the qualified certificate in compliance with the profile requirements given in the present
document.
5) The PSP accepts the certificate.
4.6 Certificate Validation and Revocation
Figure 2 presents the general concept for certificate validation and revocation. Validation process is based on certificate
status services provided by the TSP. A revocation request can originate from the certificate subject (PSP) or from the
NCA which has issued the PSP authorization number contained in the certificate. TSP revokes the certificate based on a
verifiably authentic revocation request.

5.2 Encoding PSD2 specific attributes
5.2.1 Authorization number
GEN-5.2.1-1: The authorization number shall be placed in organizationIdentifier attribute of the Subject Distinguished
Name field in the certificate:
a) for QWACs: as defined in clause 5.3;
b) for QsealCs as defined in clause 5.4.
GEN-5.2.1-2: The authorization number shall be encoded using the syntax identified by the legal person semantics
identifier as defined in ETSI EN 319 412-1 [1], clause 5.1.4 extended for PSD2 authorization identifier as follows.
GEN-5.2.1-3: The organizationIdentifier attribute shall contain information using the following structure in the
presented order:
• "PSD" as 3 character legal person identity type reference;
• 2 character ISO 3166 [7] country code representing the NCA country;
• hyphen-minus "-" (0x2D (ASCII), U+002D (UTF-8)); and
• 2-8 character NCA identifier (A-Z uppercase only, no separator);
• hyphen-minus "-" (0x2D (ASCII), U+002D (UTF-8)); and
• PSP identifier (authorization number as specified by the NCA).
EXAMPLE: The organizationIdentifier "PSDES-BDE-3DFD21" means a certificate issued to a PSP where the
authorization number is 3DFD21, authorization was granted by the Spanish NCA Banco de
España (identifier after second hyphen-minus is decided by Spanish numbering system).
Any separator in NCA identifier shall be removed.
5.2.2 Roles of payment service provider
GEN-5.2.2-1: RolesOfPSP shall contain one or more roles. The roles shall be as declared by an NCA via their public
