  This is an Authentication Profile of the International Grid Trust Federation describing the minimum requirements for a Member Integrated X.509 PKI CAs. MICS X.509 Public Key Certification Authorities (MICS PKI CAs) issue credentials to end-entities, who will themselves posses and control their key pair and their activation data. These CAs act as an independent trusted third party for both subscribers and relying parties within the infrastructure. These issuing authorities will use a long-term signing key, which is stored in a secure manner as defined in the Profile.
