The Common PKI Specification describes a profile of internationally used and recognized standards for electronic signatures, encryption, and public key infrastructures. In October 2001, the specification (last published version 2.0 from January 20, 2009) was jointly approved by T7 and TeleTrusT Germany. Since both signature application providers and trust center operators were involved in drawing up the specification, the specification is supported by leading German product developers and solution providers for eBusiness and eGovernment.
