provides for the establishment of a framework based on a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) model.<br clear="none">

In recognition of the foregoing, CCK has developed a licensing framework for Electronic Certification Service Providers (E-CSP) to support the PKI framework and which will subsequently lead to an amendment of the Market Structure.<br clear="none">

CCK, therefore, wishes to invite stakeholders and members of the public to submit their comments on the proposed licensing framework for Electronic Certification Service Providers. The comments submitted will be considered for incorporation in the final documents.
