CAcert is proud to announce that the Trusted Third Party Programme is back to life

Leave a reply

The software team was able to finish the last fixes so that the Trusted Third Party (TTP) programme is working again. At present there are two restrictions:

  • the TTP programme is only rolled out for Australia, Puerto Rico and USA. This means you can only take part if you can visit a TTP in these countries. (All other requests will not be processed)
  • the TTP programme is only able to grant up to 70 assurance points. The TTP TOPUP programme that closes the gap between 70 and 100 assurance points is still under development.)

You find more about TTP in on this wiki page at https://wiki.cacert.org/TTP/TTPuser

New TTP-Assisted-Assurance to Draft – one more milestone in Policy!

Leave a reply

TTP-Assisted-Assurance to DRAFTThis weekend, the Security Policy goes into DRAFT. Consensus has erupted in policy group once again.

The practicle work now can start, to write down all the documentation for the practice documents. Clean out the wiki with all the informations of the old TTP program and start spreading the new TTP-Assisted-Assurance to the CAcert deserts after the old program was frozen.

Who volunteers now to becoming the first TTP-admins ? As policy defines
Senior-Assurers to be the TTP-admins and the first new TTP requests will come soon probably
we have to deploy the policy now into practice. Thats again a Community Task. We need at least 3 TTP-Admins as following graphic displays:

             TTP ----:--> TTP-Admin (1) --> 35 points max
                 /       :         \
   Assuree =  -  -  :-  >      =----> TTP-Admin (3)  --> 35 points max (Topup)
                 \       :         /
             TTP ----:--> TTP-Admin (2) --> 35 points max
                         :........ CAcert internal ................................................

TTP-Admins should become familiar with the TTP’s available in a country of the TTP requestor so the program gets a strong path of reliance. One idea is to work close together with Organisation Assuers, who are familiar with the regulations in a country but its not limited to. These are only thoughts.
