C. Description and Use of Certificates
1. GeoTrust QuickSSL Web Server Certificates
GeoTrust QuickSSL Web Server Certificates are X.509
Certificates with SSL Extensions that chain to GeoTrust’s Equifax Secure
Certificate Authority trusted root and which facilitate secure electroniccommerce by providing limited authentication of a Subscriber's server
and permitting SSL encrypted transactions between a Relying Party's
browser and the Subscriber's server. In addition, GeoTrust may alsoenable the Certificate for use as a client Certificate.
2.
2. Operational Period of Certificates
GeoTrust Server QuickSSL Web Certificates have an Operational
Period of one year, two years, or three years from the date of issuance(depending on whether the Subscriber has purchased a one year, twoyear, or three year Certificate), unless another time period or expiration
date is specified on such Certificate, or unless the Certificate is revokedprior to the expiration of the Certificate’s Operational Period.
If a Subscriber renews a Certificate within a specified period prior to
expiration of an existing Certificate, GeoTrust may extend the
Operational Period for the new Certificate by a specified number of days
intended to give the Subscriber the approximate benefit of the remaining
Operational Period of the existing Certificate. In addition, from time totime GeoTrust may extend the Operational Period of the Certificates it
issues in connection with promotions or other packages. The specificdetails of these extensions of the Operational Period will be provided to
the Subscriber by information posted on the GeoTrust Web site, theenrollment form, and/or the Subscriber Agreement. The Operational
Period for a Certificate will be stated in the Certificate.
4. Installation of Certificates
Certificates may not be installed on more than a single server
at a time unless Subscriber has requested to do so during the enrollment
process and has paid the corresponding fees for installation on multiple
servers.
2.
5. Technical Requirements of Certificates In order to use a
Certificate, the appropriate server software must support SSL.
ٛ .II. GENERAL PROVISIONS
ٛ .A. Obligations
ٛ .1. GeoTrust Obligations
ٛ .GeoTrust will: (i) issue Certificates in accordance with this CPS; (ii)perform limited authentication of Subscribers as described in this CPS;(iii) revoke Certificates as described in this CPS; and (iv) perform anyother functions which are described within this CPS.
ٛ .2. Subscriber Obligations
ٛ .Subscriber will submit truthful information about itself and its business
entity, domain ownership and contacts, as applicable.. Subscribers will at
all times abide by this CPS. The Subscriber is solely responsible for theprotection of its Private Key and will immediately request revocation of a

3. Relying Party Obligations

1 of 9B. Fees

GeoTrust’s refund policy is available for review on the GeoTrust web site
at http://www.geotrust.com/resources. If a Subscriber has paid the fees
for the Certificate to another party such as a reseller, the Subscriber
should request the refund from that party.
A Subscriber may apply a refund toward the issuance of a substituteCertificate. To obtain a substitute Certificate, the Subscriber must
provide a new Certificate Signing Request to GeoTrust or request
reissue of a Certificate based upon a prior Certificate Signing Request
previously provided to GeoTrust by the Subscriber.
GeoTrust will not revoke a Certificate previously issued following a
refund or reissue request. A request for a refund or reissue of a
Certificate will not be treated as a request by the Subscriber for
revocation of a Certificate previously issued by GeoTrust unless the
Subscriber follows the procedures for requesting revocation as statedat Section III.I. of this CPS.
C. Compliance Audit
An annual WebTrust for Certification Authorities examination will be
performed for the Certificates issued under this CPS. GeoTrust’s CA
compliance audits are performed by a public accounting firm that (1)demonstrates proficiency in public key infrastructure technology,
information security tools and techniques, security auditing, and thethird-party attestation function, and (2) is accredited by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which requires thepossession of certain skill sets, quality assurance measures such as
peer review, competency testing, standards with respect to proper
assignment of staff to engagements, and requirements for continuing
professional education. Compliance audits of GeoTrust’s operations will
be performed by a public accounting firm that is independent of GeoTrust.
The scope of GeoTrust’s annual WebTrust for Certification Authorities
examination will include certificate life cycle management and CA
business practices disclosure.

Cyber Trading Co. https://yt.com/

With respect to WebTrust audits of GeoTrust’s operations, significant
exceptions or deficiencies identified during the WebTrust audit will resultin a determination of actions to be taken. This determination is made by
GeoTrust management with input from the auditor. GeoTrust
management is responsible for developing and implementing a corrective
action plan. If GeoTrust determines that such exceptions or deficiencies
pose an immediate threat to the security or integrity of the Certificatesissued under this CPS, a corrective action plan will be developed within
30 days and implemented within a commercially reasonable period oftime. For less serious exceptions or deficiencies, GeoTrust
management will evaluate the significance of such issues and determine
the appropriate course of action. Results of the WebTrust audit of
GeoTrust’s operations may be released at the discretion of GeoTrust
management.

application according to applicable InterNIC rules and/or by courts ofcompetent jurisdiction.

The applicant expressly indicates acceptance of a Certificate by using
such Certificate.

3. Telephone Authentication
GeoTrust may require the applicant to provide a phone number
prior to submission of the enrollment form. GeoTrust, via an automatedtelephone system, will call the applicant at the phone number provided
and require the applicant, via their telephone, to enter a code displayedon the applicant’s computer screen. Only after successful telephoneauthentication will the enrollment form be submitted to GeoTrust.

4. Business Identification Number
GeoTrust may post certain data from the enrollment form to a third
party data repository to establish a unique Business Identification
Number for the domain specified in the enrollment form. If available,
the Business Identification Number URL will be inserted in an
Organizational Unit Name field, and Relying Parties may view
additional information about the domain by accessing the specified
URL.
5. Manual Authentication
In the event that GeoTrust is unable to verify certain applicant
information for processing Certificate applications as described above,
GeoTrust may in its discretion issue the Certificate provided that
GeoTrust has taken other reasonable steps to authenticate theapplicant and the issuance of such Certificate is authorized by a
GeoTrust Director level or above.
D. Application Issues
At certain times during the application process in which GeoTrust is notable to verify information in an enrollment form, a customer service
representative may be assigned to the applicant to facilitate thecompletion of the application process. Otherwise, the applicant may berequired to correct its associated information with third parties andre-submit its enrollment form for a Certificate.
E. Certificate Delivery

GeoTrust will verify that the Subscriber has control over such Domain
Name at the time it submitted its enrollment form by accessing a third
party database of Domain Names and their owners. GeoTrust will use
current information when available but in no case will the information beolder than 48 hours. To do this, GeoTrust will send an e-mail message
to one of the following e-mail addresses requesting confirmation of theCertificate order and authorization to issue the Certificate in the Domain
Name: (a) an e-mail address listed as the administrative or technicalcontact for the Domain Name in an official InterNIC domain nameregistry that includes the Domain Name, (b) a limited list of the mostcommonly used generic e-mail addresses for authorized persons at
Domain Names (e.g., “admin@domain.com,“ or“hostmaster@domain.com” for the Domain Name domain.com), or (c)Cyber Trading Co. https://yt.com/

If GeoTrust finds that the applicant's enrollment form was sufficiently
verified, then the applicant's Certificate will be signed by GeoTrust.
Upon signing the applicant's Certificate, GeoTrust will attach such
Certificate to an e-mail and send such e-mail to the appropriate
contacts or make the Certificate available via the Application
Programming Interface (API). The e-mail will typically be sent to theadministrative contact, technical contact and billing contact designatedby the Subscriber. Notification will not be sent to others than the subjectof the Certificate and the subject’s designated contacts. In certain
circumstances the e-mail may include a GeoTrust customer service
representative telephone number and e-mail address for any technicalor customer service problems. GeoTrust, in its sole discretion, may

G. Certificate Renewal and Rekey
Prior to the expiration of an existing Subscriber’s Certificate, it isnecessary for the Subscriber to obtain a new Certificate to maintaincontinuity of Certificate usage. Subscribers have the option ofgenerating a new Key Pair to replace the expiring Key Pair (technicallydefined as “rekey”) or of creating a new Certificate Signing Request foran existing Key Pair (technically defined as “renewal”), depending on
their preferences and the capabilities and restrictions of the Subscriber’s
web server and web server key generation tools. For purposes of this
CPS, both a “rekey” and “renewal” as defined above will be treated as arenewal Certificate.

.
•upon request of a Subscriber as described above;.
•in the event of Compromise of GeoTrust's Private Key used tosign a Certificate;.
•upon the Subscriber's breach of either this CPS or Subscriber
Agreement;.
•if GeoTrust determines that the Certificate was not properly
issued; or.
•in the event the Certificate is installed on more than a single
server at a time without permission of GeoTrust.
If GeoTrust initiates revocation of a Certificate, GeoTrust shall notify theadministrative and technical contact provided by Subscriber by e-mailmessage of the revocation and the reasons why. In the event that
GeoTrust ceases operations, all Certificates issued by GeoTrust shallbe revoked prior to the date that GeoTrust ceases operations, and
GeoTrust shall notify the administrative and technical contact provided
by Subscriber by e-mail message of the revocation and the reasons
why.
A refund and/or reissue request by a Subscriber pursuant to Section
II.B.5 will not be treated as a request for revocation of a Certificate under
this subsection unless the Subscriber specifically requests revocation of
the Certificate.

Renewal Certificates are subject to the same authentication steps
outlined in this CPS as apply to initial issuance of a Certificate. Expiring
Certificates are not revoked by GeoTrust upon issuance of the renewal
Certificate.

2. Who Can Request Revocation
The only persons permitted to request revocation of a
Certificate issued by GeoTrust are the Subscriber (including designatedrepresentatives), the administrative contact or the technical contact.
2.
3. Procedure For Revocation Request

The Subscriber must pay the fees and comply with the other terms andconditions for renewal as presented on GeoTrust’s Web site.
GeoTrust may provide discounted prices and extended Operational
Periods (see I.C.3) for renewal Certificates.

To request revocation, a Subscriber must contact GeoTrust, either by
e-mail message, a national/regional postal service, facsimile, orovernight courier, and specifically request “revocation” (using that term)of a particular Certificate identified by the Subscriber. Upon receipt of a
revocation request, GeoTrust will seek confirmation of the request by
e-mail message to the person requesting revocation (as defined in
SectionIII.I.2 above). The message will state that, upon confirmationof the revocation request, GeoTrust will revoke the Certificate and that
posting the revocation to the appropriate CRL will constitute notice to
the Subscriber that the Certificate has been revoked. GeoTrust will
require a confirming e-mail message back from either the administrativeor technical contact authorizing revocation (or by other means ofconfirmation acceptable to GeoTrust). Upon receipt of the confirming
e-mail message, GeoTrust will revoke the Certificate and the revocation
will be posted to the appropriate CRL. Notification will be sent to thesubject of the Certificate and the subject’s designated contacts. Thereis no grace period available to the Subscriber prior to revocation, and
GeoTrust shall respond to the revocation request within the next
business day and post the revocation to the next published CRL.

H. Certificate Expiration
GeoTrust will attempt to notify all Subscribers of the expiration date of
their Certificate. Notifications will generally be by e-mail message to theadministrative, technical, and/or billing contacts listed in the enrollment
form submitted by Subscriber, and will likely occur periodically during the
90 day period prior to the expiration date and the 14 day period following
the expiration date. If Subscriber’s enrollment form was submitted byanother party on Subscriber’s behalf, GeoTrust likely will not send
expiration notices to that party.
I. Certificate Revocation
1. Circumstances For Revocation

•Power systems to ensure continuous, uninterrupted access toelectric power and.
•Heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems to control
temperature and relative humidity.
D. Water Exposures
The GeoTrust CA facility is located above ground on a raised floor and is
not susceptible to flooding or other forms of water damage. GeoTrust
has take reasonable precautions to minimize the impact of water
exposure to GeoTrust systems.
E. Fire Prevention and Protection
The fire detection system in GeoTrust CA facility tests air health andlooks for certain signatures of possible fire conditions in the air. In
addition, the GeoTrust CA facility has a pre-action water suppression
system. When temperatures above 300 degrees are detected, theeffected sprinkler head will release water on the area where thetemperature rise is detected.
F. Media Storage
All media containing production software and data, audit, archive, or
backup information is stored within multiple GeoTrust facilities in TL-30
rated safes with appropriate physical and logical access controls
designed to limit access to authorized personnel and protect such media
from accidental damage.
G. Waste Disposal
Sensitive documents and materials are shredded before disposal.
Media used to collect or transmit sensitive information are renderedunreadable before disposal. Cryptographic devices are physicallydestroyed or zeroized in accordance the manufacturers’ guidance prior todisposal. Other waste is disposed of in accordance with GeoTrust’s
normal waste disposal requirements.
H. Off-Site Backup
GeoTrust performs routine backups of critical system data, audit log
data, and other sensitive information. Critical CA facility backup media
are stored in a physically secure manner at an off-site facility.

V. TECHNICAL SECURITY CONTROLSThe cryptographic modules used for key generation and storage meetthe requirements of FIPS 140-2 level 3. The Root Keys for each CA
Certificate were generated and are stored in hardware and are backed
up but not escrowed. The Root Keys are maintained under m out of nmultiperson control.
The Root Keys for each of the CA Certificates may be used for
Certificate signing, CRL signing, and off-line CRL signing.
GeoTrust makes the CA Certificates available to Subscribers andRelying Parties through their inclusion in Microsoft and Netscape webbrowser software. For specific applications, GeoTrust’s Public Keys
are provided by the application vendors through the applications’ root
stores.

7 of 9B. Subscriber Key Pairs
GeoTrust recommends that Subscribers select the highest encryption
strength option (e.g., 1024bit) when generating their certificate requests.
All GeoTrust certificates will accommodate the use of domestic andinternational 128-, 56-, and 40-bit strength browsers and web servers.
Generation of Subscriber Key Pairs is generally performed by the
Subscriber, and may be generated in either hardware or software.
For server Certificates, the Subscriber typically uses the key
generation utility provided with the web server software. GeoTrustdoes not require any particular standard for the module used togenerate the keys. Key pairs generated by the Subscriber for
Certificates may be used for server authentication. There are no
purposes for which GeoTrust restricts the use of the Subscriber key.
For X.509 Version 3 Certificates, GeoTrust generally populates the
KeyUsage extension of Certificates in accordance with RFC 2459:
Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile,
January 1999.
C. Business Continuity Management Controls

GeoTrust generally provides the full certificate chain (including theissuing CA Certificate and any CA Certificates in the chain) to the
Subscriber upon Certificate issuance. GeoTrust CA Certificates may
also be downloaded from the GeoTrust Resource Web site at
http://www.geotrust.com/resources.
There are no restrictions on the purposes for which the CA Key Pair may
be used. The usage period or active lifetime for the Equifax Secure
Certificate Authority CA Public and Private Keys is through August 22,
2018, and are generally available in the Root Key Store of the applicablebrowser or application software. The usage period or active lifetime for
the Equifax Secure Certificate eBusiness CA-1 and Equifax Secure
Certificate Global eBusiness CA-1 Public and Private Keys is throughJune 21, 2020, and are generally available in the Root Key Store of theapplicable browser or application software.
GeoTrust CA Key Pairs are maintained in a trusted and highly secured
environment with backup and key recovery procedures. In the event of
the Compromise of one or more of the GeoTrust Root Key(s) (including
the CA Certificates), GeoTrust shall promptly notify all Subscribers via
e-mail and notify Relying Parties and others via the CRL and additional
notice posted at www.geotrust.com, and shall revoke all Certificatesissued with such GeoTrust Root Key(s).
When GeoTrust CA Key Pairs reach the end of their validity period,
such CA Key Pairs will be archived for a period of at least 5 years.
Archived CA Key Pairs will be securely stored using offline media.
Procedural controls will prevent archived CA Key Pairs from being
returned to production use. Upon the end of the archive period,archived CA Private Keys will be securely destroyed.

A. CA Key Pair
CA Key Pair generation is performed by multiple trained and trusted
individuals using secure systems and processes that provide for the
security and required cryptographic strength for the keys that are
generated. All CA Key Pairs are generated in pre-planned key
generation ceremonies in accordance with the requirements ofto supplement existing, active Key Pairs and to support new services inaccordance with this CPS.

GeoTrust CA Key Pairs are retired from service at the end of theirrespective maximum lifetimes as defined above, and so there is no keychangeover. Certificates may be renewed as long as the cumulativecertified lifetime of the Certificate Key Pair does not exceed the
maximum CA Key Pair lifetime. New CA Key Pairs will be generated asnecessary, for example to replace CA Key Pairs that are being retired,
