Certification hierarchy and public keys

These keys are necessary to verify that the certificates that reach our computer equipment have been issued by one of the certification authorities of the hierarchy of entities of the Consorci AOC. As a service provider, browsers have built-in trust in some certification authorities by default.

  • Windows: Control panel> Internet options > Content > Certificates
  • Mozilla Firefox Browser: Tools > Options > Advances > Encryption > View certificates

The Consorci AOC, as a Qualified Trust Service Provider in accordance with Regulation 910/2014 (EIDAS), meets all the necessary requirements to be included in the most used browsers, operating systems and platforms.

For cases where these keys do not come pre-loaded it is necessary to manually install the public keys of the certification authority of the certification authority to enable trust.

Starting in 2025, the certification hierarchy of the consorci AOC will be expanded with a new hierarchy, called the third generation (G3), consisting of the following subordinate Certification Authorities and a root Certification Authority:

  • CA CONSORCI AOC (G3) ROOT-A: the new root Certification Authority.
  • SubCA SECTOR PUBLIC Q (G3) A.1: for issuing qualified electronic certificates for the public sector of Catalonia, replacing EC-SECTORPUBLIC.
  • SubCA CIUDADANÍA Q (G3) A.2: for issuing qualified electronic certificates for citizenship, replacing EC-CIUDADANIA.
  • SubCA Q TSA (G3) A.5: for issuing qualified electronic certificates for qualified timestamping services.
Image that represents the hierarchy described above

The certification hierarchy of the Consorci AOC that is being replaced consists of two Certification Authorities:

  • The EC-SectorPublic: handles the issuance of certificates for the Public Sector of Catalonia.
  • The EC-Ciudadanía: issues digital certificates to citizens.

Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)

The OCSP protocol (Online Certificate Status Protocol (RFC 2560) allows to validate the status of a digital certificate in a more efficient way than through the verification of the Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL).

All certificates issued by Consorci AOC include a reference to the validation service OCSP. This allows automated validation of the certificate status through this protocol.

In the case of simple validations, that is, validations of a single certificate, the OCSP validation response is signed by the OCSP response certificate corresponding to the hierarchy to which the certificate to be validated belongs.

In case of multiple validations, validations of multiple certificates at the same time, the OCSP validation response is signed by the OCSP response certificate corresponding to the root of the hierarchy. For more information, you can consult the section on regulation.
