Trust Framework
CA/B
Canada
Trust frameworks can serve different and related scopes. It's less of a question about what's better and more of what's needed. Trust Frameworks can be used together to address different scopes.
CA/B focuses on public key infrastructure (PKI), ensuring secure digital certificates (SSL/TLS, code signing, S/MIME) that verify website authenticity, software integrity, and secure email communication.
DIACC PCTF focuses on digital identity and trust in online interactions, providing a framework for identity verification, authentication, and credential management across sectors in Canada.
CA/B - Defines technical and operational standards for certificate authorities (CAs) and browser security. - Addresses cryptographic trust of digital certificates for encryption, authentication, and security practices. - Applies globally, influencing how websites, software, and emails are secured through digital certificates.
DIACC PCTF - Auditable criteria supporting public and private sector interoperability in Canada. - Covers broader identity-related issues, including identity proofing, authentication, credential management, and privacy protection. - Supports compliance with Canadian regulations and aligns with government and industry needs.
