This policy defines the European C-ITS Trust model based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). It defines legal and technical requirements for the management of public key certificates for C-ITS applications by issuing entities and end users in Europe. The PKI is composed at its highest level by a set of root CAs ‘enabled ‘by the Trust List Manager (TLM), whose certificates are inserted in a European Certificate Trust List (ECTL), which is defined and published by the central TLM (see sections 1.3 and 1.5).

This policy is binding to all entities participating in the trusted C-ITS system in Europe.
