3.4.2 The Internet Policy Registration Authority (IPRA)
The IPRA acts as the root of the certification hierarchy for the
Internet community. The public component of the IPRA forms the
foundation for all certificate validation within this hierarchy. The
IPRA will be operated under the auspices of the Internet Society, an
international, non-profit organization. The IPRA certifies all PCAs,
ensuring that they agree to abide by the Internet-wide policy
established by the IPRA. This policy, and the services provided by
the IPRA, are detailed below.
