NISTIR 7924 Reference Certificate Policy: Draft

By National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

NISTIR 7924 May 2014 Draft

The purpose of this document is to identify a baseline set of security controls and practices to support the secure issuance of certificates. This baseline was developed with publicly-trusted Certification Authorities (CAs) in mind. These CAs, who issue the certificates used to secure websites using TLS and verify the authenticity of software, play a particularly important role online. This document formatted as a Reference Certificate Policy (CP). We expect different applications and relying party communities will tailor this document based on their specific needs. It was structured and developed so that the CP developer can fill in sections specific to organizational needs and quickly produce a suitable CP.

Why buy a book you can download for free?

First you gotta find it and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people - and its outta paper - and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it's just 10 pages, no problem, but if it's a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that's paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant's anymore?).

If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money.

It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
