+ A1. Notes on Transliterations in Names +

+

+ Following notes were in the Assurance Policy but now moved to here + for consideration. +

+ +

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.

+

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.
