sc-17 - [catalog] Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
Control Statement
-
[a] Issue public key certificates under an certificate policy or obtain public key certificates from an approved service provider; and
-
[b] Include only approved trust anchors in trust stores or certificate stores managed by the organization.
Control guidance
Public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates are certificates with visibility external to organizational systems and certificates related to the internal operations of systems, such as application-specific time services. In cryptographic systems with a hierarchical structure, a trust anchor is an authoritative source (i.e., a certificate authority) for which trust is assumed and not derived. A root certificate for a PKI system is an example of a trust anchor. A trust store or certificate store maintains a list of trusted root certificates.
Control assessment-objective
public key certificates are issued under certificate policy , or public key certificates are obtained from an approved service provider; only approved trust anchors are included in trust stores or certificate stores managed by the organization.
