ISO 15782-1:2009

Certificate management for financial services — Part 1: Public key certificates

ISO 15782-1:2009 defines a certificate management system for financial industry use for legal and natural persons that includes

• credentials and certificate contents,
• Certification Authority systems, including certificates for digital signatures and for encryption key management,
• certificate generation, distribution, validation and renewal,
• authentication structure and certification paths, and
• revocation and recovery procedures.

ISO 15782-1:2009 also recommends some useful operational procedures (e.g. distribution mechanisms, acceptance criteria for submitted credentials).

Implementation of ISO 15782-1:2009 will also be based on business risks and legal requirements.

ISO 15782-1:2009 does not include

• the protocol messages used between the participants in the certificate management process,
• requirements for notary and time stamping,
• Certificate Policy and Certification Practices requirements, or
• Attribute Certificates.

While ISO 15782-1:2009 provides for the generation of certificates that could include a public key used for encryption key management, it does not address the generation or transport of keys used for encryption.
