The RIPE NCC will issue certificates for Internet number resources upon request to the registered holder of those resources.
Initially, the following Internet number resources distributed by the RIPE NCC will be eligible for certification:
The RIPE NCC will issue certificates upon request for RIPE NCC supplied IP Resources to the LIR that is the registered holder of those resources.
The certificate will be issued via a secure channel.
Certificates will be issued with a validity period of up to 18 months or as otherwise stated in the RIPE NCC Certificate Practice Statement [1].
In the event of revocation due to security breach or similar, new certificates will be issued with a validity period equal to the remaining validity of the revoked certificate.
Certificates will at all times reflect the registration status of the resource.
