I have a small favor to ask of any of you who speak Spanish. I'm
currently considering an application from Firmaprofesional, a
Barcelona-based Certification Authority that would like their CA
certificate included in Mozilla-based products. I have one final
question I need to have answered in relation to their application, and
they haven't yet responded to me. The answer should be in their
Certificate Policy document, but it's available only in Spanish and the
PDF is locked so I can't cut and paste text into an online translation
application. Thus I would like to know if someone could translate a
small portion of the CP document for me (about half a page).

The document in question can be downloaded at the following URL:

http://www.firmaprofesional.com/doc/1/CP3_FP_001.3.pdf

and the particular section of interest to me is section 3.1.7 on page
14, which appears to deal with authentication of the identity of
organizations applying for SSL certificates. I don't need an exact
translation, I just need a summary of the procedures Firmaprofesional is
following with respect to authentication of identity.

Thanks in advance for any help any of you can provide in this matter.

Frank

I should have added that the bug number for Firmprofesional's
application is 342426.

Let's see if I'm good enough with reverse translation: :-)

3.1.7 Authenticating an organization identity

In order to do a proper verification of an organization identity so a
Secure Server certficate can be emitted, Firmaprofesional demands to
correctly justify to the Registry Entity:

- the domain name ownership, certified by a legally valid
representative of the organization, or the requester statement about
his ownership for other services or applications.

- the requesting organization authorization to the actual person
making the request for the certificate emission.

- the identity of the actual person, as estipulated in the policies of
Firmaprofesional hierarchy and the applicable CPS (look at
http://www.firmaprofesional.com/doc/index.htm)

- if the requesting organization is not the corporation or association
performing as a AR itself, it will be requested the vouch, by a
legitimate way, of the existance of the entity from a legal point of view

The secure server certificates can be requested by handing the
established documentation to the AR.

- AR: Registry Authority
- CPS: Certification Practice Statement

Hope this helps.

Thanks, this is close enough for my purposes. As you probably noticed,
the language used in CA documents is not exactly the same as the
language spoken by everyone else :-)

Again, thanks for your help!

ROFL. Reminds me of marketing and press releases.
