LOA stands for Level of Assurance and it may be comparable to something like Level1-3 Certificates from some of the big PKI-Companies. So basicaly the LOA tells the ca/ra how 'good'/'detailed' the checking procedures are that confirmed the identity of the user or whatever if is the usecase for the pki each LOA should usually be assigned with an policy that describes the procedures, the key-lengths, validity times and achivable security/assurances of this assigned LOA. greetings dalini ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
