YOU
MUST READ THIS CERTIFICATE
SUBSCRIPTION AND USE
AGREEMENT
("AGREEMENT")
BEFORE APPLYING FOR,
ACCEPTING, OR USING A
Secure Digital CERTIFICATE
("CERTIFICATE").
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO
NOT APPLY FOR, ACCEPT, OR
USE THE CERTIFICATE.
1. Certificate
Application and Description
of Certificates. This
section details the terms
and conditions regarding
your application
("Certificate
Application") for a
Certificate and, if
Secure Digital, its licensees, or
resellers (hereinafter
referred to collectively as
"Secure Digital")
accepts your Certificate
Application, to your use of
the Certificates as a
subscriber
("Subscriber") of
that Certificate. A
Certificate is a digitally
signed message that contains
a Subscriber's public key
and associates it with
information authenticated by
Secure Digital or a
Secure Digital-authorized entity.
The Certificates provided
under this Agreement are
issued within the Secure Digital
Trust Environment ("SDTE").
The SDTE is a global public
key infrastructure that
provides Certificates for
both wired and wireless
applications. Secure Digital and
its licensees are service
providers within the SDTE,
together with a network of
resellers and business
partners throughout the
world. The SDTE, Secure Digital
and its licensees, under
this Agreement offer two
distinct classes
("Classes") and
three sub-classes
("Sub-classes") of
certification services for
both the wired and wireless
Internet and other networks.
Classes provided are
"Test" and
"Secure Digital Professional
Network ("SDPN")".
The SDPN provides three
Sub-classes,
"Basic",
"Group" and
"Premium". Each
Class and Sub-class of
Certificate provides
specific functionality and
security features and
corresponds to a specific
level of trust. You are
responsible for choosing
which Class or Sub-class of
Certificate you need. The
following subsections state
the appropriate uses and
authentication procedures
for each Class and Sub-class
of Certificate. For more
detailed information about
Secure Digital's certification
services, please see the
Secure Digital Certification
Practice Statement (the
"Secure Digital CPS")
which may be accessed at http://www.SecureDigitalSecuritySolutions.com/repository.
Secure Digital Test Class
- Test
Class Certificates are
used for interoperability
and other testing purposes.
They are solely used
for this purpose and carry
no assurance information.
Secure Digital
SDPN Class comprise three
distinct sub-classes
referred to as
"Basic",
"Group" and
"Premium".
(i) SDPN Basic
Sub-class Certificates- provide modest security by assuring
that a certificate's subject
and e-mail address are
included unambiguously
within Secure Digital’s
repository. Basic
Certificates do not provide
proof of identity and offer
relatively low level of
assurances. They are
individual Certificates,
whose validation procedures
are based solely on
assurances that the
Subscriber’s distinguished
name is unique and
unambiguous within the SDTE
and that a certain e-mail
address is associated with a
public key. They are
appropriate principally for
encryption and may also be
appropriate for digital
signatures and access
control for noncommercial or
low-value transactions where
proof of identity is
unnecessary.
(ii) SDPN Group Sub-class
Certificates
provides a medium
level of assurance within
the SDTE. SDPN Group
Sub-class Certificates are
issued to individuals,
organizations, and
Administrators for CAs and
RAs. SDPN Group Sub-class
individual Certificates may
be used for digital
signatures, encryption, and
access control, including as
proof of identity, within
the Subscriber's group. SDPN
Group Sub-class individual
Certificates provide
assurances of the identity
of the Subscriber based on
the verification of the
Subscriber's group RA, based
on, at a minimum, the
Subscriber's records or
file. Other SDPN Group
Sub-class organizational
Certificates are issued to
devices to provide
authentication; message,
software, and content
integrity; and
confidentiality encryption.
SDPN Group Sub-class
organizational Certificates
provide assurances of the
identity of the Subscriber
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. SDPN Premium Sub-class
organizational Certificates
for servers also provide
assurances that the
Subscriber is entitled to
use the domain name listed
in the Certificate
Application.
(iii) SDPN Premium Sub-class
Certificates
provide the
highest level of assurances
within the SDTE. SDPN
Premium Sub-class
Certificates are issued to
individuals, organizations,
and Administrators for CAs
and RAs. SDPN Premium
Sub-class individual
Certificates may be used for
digital signatures,
encryption, and access
control, including as proof
of identity, in high- value
transactions. SDPN Premium
Sub-class individual
Certificates provide
assurances of the identity
of the Subscriber based on
the personal (physical)
presence of the Subscriber
before an independent third
party RA that confirms the
identity of the Subscriber
using, at a minimum, a
well-recognized form of
government- issued
identification and one other
identification credential.
Other SDPN Premium Sub-class
organizational Certificates
are issued to devices to
provide authentication;
message, software, and
content integrity; and
confidentiality encryption.
SDPN Premium Sub-class
organizational Certificates
provide assurances of the
identity of the Subscriber
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. SDPN Premium Sub-class
organizational Certificates
for servers also provide
assurances that the
Subscriber is entitled to
use the domain name listed
in the Certificate
Application.
