Policies

CP/CPS is an abbreviation of Certificate Policy and Certification Practices Statement. It is like an agreement or a contract, between people who get certificates, the resources that “consume” them, and the Certification Authority itself. Anyone who does anything with a certificate is subject to the CP/CPS (specifically, the version under which the certificate was issued).
