Using the Certisfy app, anyone can issue a certificate. However in order to be listed as a trustworthy cerificate issuer (ex as a police department), Certisfy will need to verify and approve your status.
Once you're approved, Certisfy itself will issue you a special trust anchor partner certificate. You can then use this certificate to issue other trustworthy certificates.
To submit your partner certificate request, open the Certisfy app and make a certificate request using the document described in the section below.
A trust anchor certificate needs to contain the fields listed below. You should use the Certisfy app to create a document that contains these fields and submit a certificate request for that document.
You should then copy the ID and Key from the Certify app to submit your partner certificate request.
For the geo-code field, this is the geo location code of your business address.
The value should be in the format latitude,longitude, ex: 38.8951759,-77.0298891.
You can use Google maps to find the latitude,longitude coordinates of your address.
The document with the informatiom above should not be marked as private when making the certificate request.
The labor-code can be a valid government labor/occupational code that correctly identifies the line of work the issuer entity can be grouped under.
For US entities, that information can be found at the labor department site: https://www.bls.gov/soc/
The pki-maximum-delegates states how many levels of trustworthiness delegation this trust anchor can have. This would be based on the organizational structure of the the trust anchor. For instance a police department has a hierarchy that can be used to determine how many levels of delegation is valid.
If you wont be delegating certificate issuing authority to anyone then the value for
pki-maximum-delegates should be 0. Certisfy will only issue a trust anchor
certificate after verifying that the pki-maximum-delegates value is valid.
