Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI);Trusted Lists

The present document specifies a format and mechanisms for establishing, locating, accessing and authenticating a
trusted list which makes available trust service status information so that interested parties may determine the status of a
listed trust service at a given time. It defines the format and semantics of a TL as well as the mechanisms for accessing
TLs. It also provides guidance for locating and authenticating TLs.
The present document applies to European Union Member State (EU MS) trusted lists as a means to express trust
service status information with regards to their compliance with the relevant provisions laid down in Regulation (EU)
No 910/2014 [i.10] and in its applicable secondary legislation as of 1 July 2016.
In the context of non-EU countries or international organizations, scheme operators may issue trusted lists in
accordance with the present document to facilitate mutual recognition of digital signatures.
In addition, the present document defines requirements for relying parties to use TLs and the status information held
within them.

Elektronski podpisi in infrastruktura (ESI) - Zaupni seznami

Ta dokument določa format in mehanizme za vzpostavitev, iskanje, dostop do in overjanje zaupnega seznama, pri čemer so na voljo informacije o statusu zaupne storitve, na podlagi katerih lahko zainteresirana stranka ugotovi status navedene zaupne storitve v danem trenutku. Določa format in semantiko zaupnega seznama ter mehanizme za dostop do zaupnih seznamov. Prav tako podaja navodila za iskanje in overjanje zaupnih seznamov.
V tem dokumentu so zaupni seznami držav članic Evropske unije (EU MS) opredeljeni kot sredstvo za izražanje informacij o statusu zaupne storitve v povezavi z njihovo skladnostjo z ustreznimi določbami iz predpisa (EU) št. 910/2014 [i.10] in veljavne sekundarne zakonodaje od 1. julija 2016. V kontekstu držav, ki niso članice Evropske unije, ali mednarodnih organizacij lahko upravljavci shem izdajo zaupne sezname v skladu s tem dokumentom za namen lažjega vzajemnega priznavanja digitalnih podpisov. Poleg tega ta dokument opredeljuje zahteve za odvisne stranke glede uporabe zaupnih seznamov in informacij o statusu, ki jih le-ti vsebujejo.

IPRs essential or potentially essential to the present document may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web

Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee

Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electronic Signatures and
Infrastructures (ESI).
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
The purpose of the present document is to establish a common template and a harmonized way for a Trusted List
Scheme Operator (TLSO) to provide information about the status and status history of the trust services from Trust
Service Providers (TSPs) regarding compliance with the relevant provisions of the applicable legislation on digital
signatures and trust services for electronic transactions.
The present document is aiming to meet the general requirements of the international community to allow production of
trusted list including information on qualified and non-qualified trust service providers and the qualified and non-
qualified trust services they provide, including, amongst others, applicable requirements from Regulation (EU)
No 910/2014 [i.10].
NOTE 1: EU Member States' trusted lists were established in EU by Commission Decision 2009/767/EC [i.2] and
aimed primarily at supporting the validation of advanced electronic signatures supported by a qualified
certificate and advanced electronic signature supported by both a qualified certificate and by a secure
signature creation device, in the meaning of Directive 1999/93/EC [i.3], as far as they included as a
minimum trust service providers supervised/accredited for issuing qualified certificates. TLSOs could
however include in their trusted lists also other types of approved trust service providers. Hence, the
cross-border use of electronic services based on advanced electronic signatures is also facilitated, where
the supporting trust services (e.g. issuing of non-qualified certificates) are part of the listed
supervised/accredited services.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.10] extends the scope of qualified trust services and trust service
providers to a wider but definite list of harmonised trust services. The Regulation is applicable as of
1 July 2016, until when the Commission Decision 2009/767/EC [i.2], as amended, remains applicable.
For trust services not covered by the Regulation, Member States remain free to define other types of trust
services, for national purposes where these can be considered as qualified trust services (without effect in
other Member States).

Trusted lists, as specified by the present document, enable in practice any interested party to determine whether a trust
service is or was operating in compliance with relevant requirements, currently or at a given time in the past (e.g. at the
time the service was provided, or at the time at which a transaction reliant on that service took place). In order to fulfil
this requirement, trusted lists need to contain information from which it can be established whether the TSP's service is,
or was, known by the Trusted List Scheme Operator (TLSO) and if so the status of the service at a given time. Trusted
lists therefore contain not only the service's current status, but also the history of its statuses.
The present document provides specifications for trusted lists in two contexts, namely the European Union legis

Introduction
The purpose of the present document is to establish a common template and a harmonized way for a Trusted List
Scheme Operator (TLSO) to provide information about the status and status history of the trust services from Trust
Service Providers (TSPs) regarding compliance with the relevant provisions of the applicable legislation on digital
signatures and trust services for electronic transactions.
The present document is aiming to meet the general requirements of the international community to allow production of
trusted list including information on qualified and non-qualified trust service providers and the qualified and non-
qualified trust services they provide, including, amongst others, applicable requirements from Regulation (EU)
No 910/2014 [i.10].
NOTE 1: EU Member States' trusted lists were established in EU by Commission Decision 2009/767/EC [i.2] and
aimed primarily at supporting the validation of advanced electronic signatures supported by a qualified
certificate and advanced electronic signature supported by both a qualified certificate and by a secure
signature creation device, in the meaning of Directive 1999/93/EC [i.3], as far as they included as a
minimum trust service providers supervised/accredited for issuing qualified certificates. TLSOs could
however include in their trusted lists also other types of approved trust service providers. Hence, the
cross-border use of electronic services based on advanced electronic signatures is also facilitated, where
the supporting trust services (e.g. issuing of non-qualified certificates) are part of the listed
supervised/accredited services.
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.10] extends the scope of qualified trust services and trust service
providers to a wider but definite list of harmonised trust services. The Regulation is applicable as of
1 July 2016, until when the Commission Decision 2009/767/EC [i.2], as amended, remains applicable.
For trust services not covered by the Regulation, Member States remain free to define other types of trust
services, for national purposes where these can be considered as qualified trust services (without effect in
other Member States).
