PKI Infrastructure

On 2018-09-03 OpenPeppol will adopt a new PKI infrastructure and at the same time start the migration process. The new PKI infrastructure does not differ much in comparison with the old infrastructure, the biggest change has been removal of one intermediate CA (for issuing STS certificates) and changing all other CAs to new ones. The new CAs allow improved security (SHA-256) and some minor adjustments have been made to the naming conventions to ease the maintainability of the certificates.

Issuing process

Overview

The issuing process begins with the OpenPeppol member requesting a PKI certificate through the Jira service desk. After the request has been approved an enrollment email and SMS will be sent to the OpenPeppol member.
