Dry run of the Cross-certification signing ceremony<br />

309. It is recommended that the two nations perform dry run testing of the crosscertification<br />

signing ceremony using the national Test Infrastructures. This may include:<br />

• Generation of the cross-certificate requests<br />

• Verification of the integrity of the cross-certificate requests upon receipt<br />

• Generation of the Principal Cross-Certificate<br />

• Understanding of roles and responsibilities related to the cross-certificate<br />

signing ceremony<br />

Interoperability CA testing<br />

310. Each CCEB Nation is expected to perform internal testing on the CA that will be<br />

used for CCEB Interoperability as part of the process of deploying the operational CA.<br />

These tests should align with the relevant self-assertions made in relation to the NDPKI<br />

CPs against the CPMC.<br />

Operational testing<br />

311. After the generation of a cross-certificate in the operational environment, one or<br />

more certificate chains that include the newly generated cross-certificate should be<br />

validated to ensure that cross-certification was successful.<br />

REASONS FOR RE-TESTING<br />

312. After a CCA is operational, changes to the configuration of a NDPKI may warrant<br />

re-testing. Re-testing should occur prior to the implementation of the configuration<br />

change, but may occur post implementation if prior testing is not possible. Re-testing<br />

may be initiated by the Nation making the change or may be requested by the other<br />

Participant in response to an update to the CCA or self-assertion. Types of changes that<br />

will likely require re-testing include:<br />

Uncontrolled copy when printed<br />

• Establishment of a CA used for interoperability by the NDPKI<br />

• Changes to algorithms used for hashing, encryption, or key agreement<br />

• Changes to applicable CAs or end entity certificate profiles<br />
