Abstract
A public certificate authority (CA) manages versioned sets of a collection of individual policies that serve as a basis for how a certificate issuance workflow processes certificate requests, and tracks the particular set of policies applied by the issuance workflow process to produce a particular certificate. For example, the public CA responds to a certificate request by identifying a current policy collection version, and performing a certificate issuance workflow in accordance with the set of individual policy versions specified by the current policy collection version. If the requested certificate is correctly produced, the public CA publishes the certificate and records, to a tracking data store, an identifier of the certificate and the policy collection version used in performance of the issuance workflow. The records may be used to respond to audit requests, matching certificates to the policy collection version used in performance of the issuance workflow for that certificate.
