13. © 2008 SWITCH 13 Switch Requirements/feedback Certificate lifetime of at least ten years for the Issuing CA End Entities and Server certificates lifetime of no more than 13 months. Any further certificate policies extension for the Issuing CA certificate must not include a URI. No intermediate certificate with a key longer than 2048 bits (CA 1). The issuing CA CRL lifetime will be of at least 7 days. No OCSP (online certificate status protocol) responder URI in the Grid certificates, at least initially.

14. © 2008 SWITCH 14 What will change? SwissSign hierarchy cumbersome e.g. we will not need a safe in a bank anymore:) Less hassle as we will NOT have the email field in the certificates DNs. Switch SLCS CA is not affected by the transition! The RAs management will remain the same What will not change?

15. © 2008 SWITCH 15 QuoVadis timeline QuoVadis CP/CPS and Issuing CA: The process for the Issuing CA and update of the CP/CPS will be roughly as follows: Draft of the initial proposed updates to the CP/CPS over the next few weeks. Agreement with QuoVadis on the technical specifications for the issuing CA and the end user/device certificates (this includes OIDs etc) Build of the issuing CA and first tests: as an estimate the issuing CA should be able to be built by the end of the year. Final updates to the CP/CPS and formal approve by the QuoVadis PMA (dependent on the building of the issuing CA, but quick in principle Submission of the CP/CPS for approval by the EUGridPMA.

16. © 2008 SWITCH 16 EUGridPMA Accreditation Timeline Can we start with the current CP/CPS review?Any volunteers for the reviewers? Start the real review when the CP/CPS document is approved by QuoVadis We would like to be accredited by May 2009 the latest in Zurich, but if possible by January 2009 at the EUGridPMA meeting in Cyprus. A representative of QuoVadis might attend the meeting in Cyprus, if this is deemed useful.
