< p > < a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration" target = "_blank" > Transliteration< / a >
of characters as defined in the transliteration character table (< a href = "http://svn.cacert.org/CAcert/Policies/transtab.utf" target = "_blank" > UTF
Transtab< / a > ) for names is permitted, but the result must be
7-bit
ASCII for the full name. Transliteration is one way and is towards
7-bit ASCII. Transliteration is a way to compare two names. However
transliteration of a Name makes the Name less discriminative.< / p >
< p > In general names are handled case insensitively.< / p >
< p > Abbreviation of second given name(s), middle name(s),
titles and name extensions in the name of an individual to one
character and the dot indicating the abbreviation, is permitted. If
the first given name in the ID document is abbreviated, the first
given name in the web account Name may be abbreviated. Abbreviation
of a name makes the name less discriminative.< / p >
< p > A Name on an ID which has initials (abbreviations) for
titles, name extensions and given names, and/or transliterations as
defined in the transliteration table can be taken into account for
assurance for a Name in the account which is not abbreviated or
transliterated.< / p >
< p > Titles and name extensions in the name of an individual
may be omitted.< / p >
< p > The assurance ambition is to pursue
a highly discriminative assured Name in the account. The ambition is
to have only a Name in the account which has no abbreviation(s), no
transliteration and is case sensitive.< / p >
FOLLOWING GOES TO Certficate Implementation Policy
< h3 > < a name = "" > < / a > Names on the certificate issued by CAcert< / h3 >
< p > The Certificate Implementation Policy (< a href = "http://svn.cacert.org/CAcert/Policies/CertificateImplementationPolicy.html" target = "_blank" > CIP< / a > )
will define the fields added by CAcert on the issued certificate on
request of the Member.< / p >
< p > The Common Name and related certificate fields in the
issued certificate is dependent on the assurance of the Name in the
web account. Abbreviation and transliteration handling in the CN is
defined in the Certificate Implementation Policy and is similar to
the name comparison as defined in this policy. However the Common
Name may become less discriminative as than
the assured Name as the unique certificate serial number will lead to
the account of the individual in a unique way, and in this way to the
Name and email address of the individual or organisation. The first
given name in the Common Name may be abbreviated on request.< / p >
< p > The certificate issued by CAcert can have on request of
the Member the SubjAltName field. The name as defined by the Member
is not checked by CAcert.< / p >
