TCAB assesses the following fields:
- Registration services, in which the TSP verifies the identity and if applicable, any specific attributes of a subject.
- Certificate generation service, which creates and signs certificates based on the identity and other attributes verified by the registration service.
- Dissemination services, which delivers the certificates to subjects, and if the subject consents, makes them available to relying parties.
- Revocation management services, processing requests and reports relating to revocation to determine the necessary action to be taken.
- Revocation status services, which provides certificate revocation status information to relying parties.
- Subject device provision service (optional), area which prepares, and provides or makes available secure cryptographic devices, or other secure devices, to subjects.
- When the certificates are “managed on behalf” of the subscriber, TCAB assesses the certificates management using complementary standards (ETSI TS 119 431 and ETSI TS 119 432).
