The eduPKI Policy Management Authority is a group of technical experts within GÉANT that gathers trust fabric requirements from GÉANT Services that wish to deploy or use asserted identities based on X.509 digital certificates issued by a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for their authentication needs and – based on these requirements, best practices and standards – defines various sets of minimal criteria to be met and implemented by these PKIs. By working directly with the service owners, their needs are understood and met.
