NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Certificate Management – Certificate Management Authority – (CMA) Certificate Policy (CP) – A digitally signed representation of information that 1) identifies the authority issuing it, 2) identifies the subscriber, 3) identifies its valid operational period (date issued / expiration date). In the information assurance (IA) community, certificate usually implies public key certificate and can have the following types: cross certificate – a certificate issued from a CA that signs the public key of another CA not within its trust hierarchy that establishes a trust relationship between the two CAs. encryption certificate – a certificate containing a public key that can encrypt or decrypt electronic messages, files, documents, or data transmissions, or establish or exchange a session key for these same purposes. Key management sometimes refers to the process of storing, protecting, and escrowing the private component of the key pair associated with the encryption certificate. identity certificate – a certificate that provides authentication of the identity claimed. Within the National Security Systems (NSS) PKI, identity certificates may be used only for authentication or may be used for both authentication and digital signatures. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 A set of data that uniquely identifies a key pair and an owner that is authorized to use the key pair. The certificate contains the owner’s public key and possibly other information, and is digitally signed by a Certification Authority (i.e., a trusted party), thereby binding the public key to the owner. SOURCE: FIPS 186 Process whereby certificates (as defined above) are generated, stored, protected, transferred, loaded, used, and destroyed. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 A Certification Authority (CA) or a Registration Authority (RA). SOURCE: SP 800-32 A specialized form of administrative policy tuned to electronic transactions performed during certificate management. A Certificate Policy addresses all aspects associated with the generation, production, distribution, accounting, compromise recovery, and administration of digital certificates. Indirectly, a certificate policy can also govern the transactions conducted using a communications system protected by a certificate-based security system. By controlling critical certificate extensions, such policies and associated enforcement technology can support provision of the security services required by particular applications.

May be used by a Certification Authority (CA) managing certificates. SOURCE: SP 800-32 Certificate Revocation List (CRL) – Data, such as a subscriber's postal address that is not included in a certificate. May be used by a Certification Authority (CA) managing certificates. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 A list of revoked public key certificates created and digitally signed by a Certification Authority. SOURCE: SP 800-63; FIPS 201 Certificate Revocation List – A list of revoked but un-expired certificates issued by a CA. SOURCE: SP 800-21 A list of revoked public key certificates created and digitally signed by a Certification Authority. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Certificate Status Authority – A trusted entity that provides online verification to a Relying Party of a subject certificate's trustworthiness, and may also provide additional attribute information for the subject certificate. SOURCE: SP 800-32; CNSSI-4009 Certification – A comprehensive assessment of the management, operational, and technical security controls in an information system, made in support of security accreditation, to determine the extent to which the controls are implemented correctly, operating as intended, and producing the desired outcome with respect to meeting the security requirements for the system. SOURCE: FIPS 200 Certification – The process of verifying the correctness of a statement or claim and issuing a certificate as to its correctness. SOURCE: FIPS 201 Comprehensive evaluation of the technical and nontechnical security safeguards of an information system to support the accreditation process that establishes the extent to which a particular design and implementation meets a set of specified security requirements. See security control assessment. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 27
