TruCert Certification body Apply

Clause R-1 · the public register

The register is the certificate.

A TruCert certificate is not a PDF that fades on a shelf. It is a standing entry in this register, updated by signed evidence as it arrives — and it lapses on its own if that evidence stops coming.

Clause R-2 · current entries

Certificates in force and their states
Certificate no. System Tier Status Issued Expires Reason
No certificates have been issued yet. Issuances, suspensions and revocations will appear here with their reasons, as they occur. Registration is not a marketing list.

Clause R-3 · how this register is kept

The rules of the register

  1. Issuances and suspensions are both listed — never only the successes. A certificate that stops being true becomes a warning in this table, publicly, without anyone at TruCert having to act.
  2. Status is computed from signed evidence and the reader’s clock. Four states exist: valid, stale (evidence overdue, with a defined window to restore it), expired (lease lapsed), and suspended (a contradiction was detected).
  3. Every entry records the tier it was assessed at. A certificate is only claimed at the tier shown here.
  4. A contradiction — configuration asserting one thing, the traffic record showing another — suspends immediately. The reason category is published in this table.
  5. You have a right of appeal to an assessor who was not part of the original decision. Requests go to [email protected].

The reference implementation of the OpenAISF standard is available under Apache-2.0, so anyone can replay the evaluation that produced an entry here.
