TTM™ for Certificate Revocation, Suspension & Renewal Policies

The following is an example of a TTM™ Service that is most frequently offered to Digi-CA™ Administrators and owners. In setting up the TTM™, the following procedural issues are agreed in advance with the Digi-CAST1™ Advisory Team that help you to design the CA system that best meets your requirements:

• Certificate Revocation

• The Certificate Policy [CP] for your Digi-CA™ is the document that is drafted by the Digi-CAST1™ Team and agreed with you prior to the system being set to Production Status. It is the CP that takes all of the above information and combines them into a single ‘rule book’ for your Digi-CA™. The CP will also document the conditions for revoking a Certificate. Once the Certificate is revoked it is no longer valid and is effectively, useless. The only way to reactivate the user is to issue a new Certificate. Once the CP is published, the Digi-CA™ is activated and the TTM™ assume control of the system, on your behalf, by following the CP exactly as documented.

• Certificate Suspension

• There are many instances where the revocation of a Certificate is considered ‘too harsh’ and suspension is considered more practical. The CP will include for Certificate Suspension, is documented by the Digi-CAST1™ Team and once agreed with you, the Digi-CA™ is configured accordingly in addition to the TTM™ Team following the CP exactly as documented.

• Certificate Suspension

• The Certificate Policy [CP] will include for Certificate Renewal and is documented by the Digi-CAST1™ Team. Once this is agreed with you, the Digi-CA™ is configured accordingly and the TTM™ Team following the CP exactly as written.
