Certificate class

Term · Cybersecurity · MLC-T-CYB-000610

A CA-designation (e.g., "class 0" or "class 1") indicating how thoroughly the CA checked the validity of the certificate. Per X.509 rules, the "class" should be encoded in the certificate as a CP extension: the CA can insert an object identifier (OID) that designates the set of procedures applied for the issuance of the certificate. These OIDs are CA-specific and can be understood only by referring to the CA's Certification Practice Statement.
