What is PD CEN/TS 419221-4 - CSP signing without backup about?
The protection profile defines the security requirements for cryptographic modules used by trust service providers supporting electronic signing and sealing operations and authentication services. It includes optional support for protected backup of keys.
PD CEN/TS 419221 series is on protection profiles for TSP cryptographic modules. PD CEN/TS 419221-4 specifies a protection profile for cryptographic modules used by certification service providers (as specified in Directive 1999/93) for signing operations, without key backup.
PD CEN/TS 419221-4 identifies and defines the security objectives for the Target of Evaluation (TOE) and its operational environment. Security objectives reflect the stated intent and counter the identified threats, as well as comply with the identified organizational security policies and assumptions.
Who is PD CEN/TS 419221-4 - CSP signing without backup for?
PD CEN/TS 419221-4 on CSP signing without backup is useful for:
- Entities that use authentication for their business
- Software engineers/IT firms
- Trust services providers
- Certification service providers
- Certification authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 419221-4 - CSP signing without backup?
The Cryptographic Module, which is the TOE, is used for the creation of Certification service providers (CSP) key pairs, and their usage for the creation and verification of advanced electronic signatures in qualified certificates or certificate status information.
This Protection Profile specified in PD CEN/TS 419221-4 defines the security requirements of a Cryptographic Module used by CSP as part of its trustworthy system to provide signing services, such as Certificate Generation Service or Certificate Status Information Signing Services.
PD CEN/TS 419221-4 provides you with document management and overview information that is required to carry out the protection profile registry. PD CEN/TS 419221-4 gives labelling and descriptive information necessary for registering the protection profile.
PD CEN/TS 419221-4 gives the security functional requirements and the security assurance requirements for the TOE and the environment. It defines concepts used during the definition of the security functional requirements.
