     The purpose of the document "Trusted List Management“ is the implementation of unambiguous and transparent rules for determining the Qualified Electronic Signature validity, the method and format of trusted publishing of signature policies, its management, life cycle, approval, publishing, validity expiration, premature revocation and addition of new signature policies.

Trusted publishing of signature policies

     In order to verify the validity of approved signature policies as simply as possible and in order to enable the automatic "machine" decision whether the particular signature policy is approved by the NSA, there has been chosen the method of trusted publishing - Trusted list of signature policies and root certificates in the format of the integrity electronic signature. Such method minimally burdens the QES users.
