CV Certificate Templates

Here you will be able to create different certificate templates for different CV certificates i.e CVCA, DVCA and Inspection Systems. 

The following screen shows some of the CV Certificate Templates and their respective purpose: 

A new CV certificate template can be created by clicking on the New button. The template can be viewed/updated by selecting a template by clicking on View/Update button. Make a Copy button replicates a selected template. 

The configuration of the items is as follows: 

 Item  Description
Template ID An Operator-defined unique Template ID for easier human recognition within the ADSS Operator Console. Once a Template ID is created, it cannot be changed. 
Template Name An Operator-defined unique name for easier human recognition within the ADSS Operator Console.
Template Description This can be used to describe the Template in more detail. This is for information purposes only.
Certificate Purpose This field defines the purpose of the CV certificate. Following are added in the certificate purpose field drop-down depending upon the license:
  • Country Verifying CA (CVCA)
  • Document Verifying CA (DVCA)
  • Inspection Systems
The purposes above defines the role inside the access rights of CV certificate.
Validity Period It contains the time period for how long a certificate will be valid from it's creation date. You can select the number of Years, Months or Days from the drop-down. Validity Period can be overrided in CV Certificate profile.
Hash Algorithm  The Hash Algorithm drop-down contains a list of supported algorithms. The Hash Algorithm defines the signature algorithm used to compute a signature over the certificate e.g. SHA256withRSA etc. It is also used to define the Terminal Authentication Algorithm for a CV certificate. 

If you are using this template to certify RSA keys, only 'SHA-256' and 'SHA-512' Hash Algorithms will be allowed as per the specification.
Access Rights The CV certificate contain the access rights that let an inspection system to access the bio-metric data on an E-Passport chip. You can select the required access right according to the requirement.   
Save Click on the 'Save' button in order to save the configured settings


Copy of a CV Certificate Template is created without Name, Description and ID of a selected CV Certificate Template.
