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

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,

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.

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

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.

References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or
