A
Certificate is a digitally signed message that contains a Subscriber's
public key and associates it with information authenticated by MTNL TRUST LINE
or an MTNL TRUST LINE RA. MTNL TRUST LINE under this Agreement offers three
distinct classes ("Classes") of Certificates, Classes 1, 2, and 3. Each
class, of Certificates provides specific functionality and security features
and corresponds to a specific level of trust. You are responsible for
choosing which Class of Certificate You need. The following subsections
state the appropriate uses and authentication procedures for each Class of
Certificate. For more detailed information about MTNL TRUST LINE's digital
certificates, please see the MTNL TRUST LINE Certification Practice Statement
Class 3 Certificates are issued to Individuals, Organizations, Servers,
Devices, and Administrators for CAs and RAs.
The validation procedures for Class 3 Certificates issued to Individuals are
based on the personal (physical) presence of the Subscriber before a
MTNL TRUST LINE authorized person that confirms the identity of the Subscriber
using a well-recognized form of government issued identification and one
other identification credential.
The validation procedures for Class 3 Certificates issued to Organizations
are based on a confirmation that the Subscriber Organization does in fact
exist, that the organization has authorized the Certificate Application, and
that the person submitting the Certificate Application on behalf of the
Subscriber was authorized to do so.
Class 3 Individual Certificates are appropriate for Digital Signatures,
encryption, and access control in transactions requiring a high assurance
about the Subscriber’s identity.
Class 3 Server Certificates are appropriate for server authentication;
message, software, and content integrity; and confidentiality encryption.
