What is the difference between Gatekeeper Accreditation and Listing?
Accreditation refers to the formal recognition by the Gatekeeper Competent Authority of the technical and operational competence of the Service Provider to carry out the operations described in the Approved Documents. Accreditation is limited to CAs, Registration Authorities (RAs) and Registration Authorities Extended Services (RAES). Listing refers to the process whereby the Gatekeeper Competent Authority approves and publicises Organisations using existing data holdings to verify the identity of Individuals and Organisations for the sole purpose of requesting or authorising the issuance of a digital certificate under the Gatekeeper PKI Framework. Listing is limited to Known Customer Organisations, Threat and Risk Organisations and Relationship Organisations within a defined Community of Interest.
