  3. General Ecert Principles! • An internet-based solution. • IT solution based on user functional requirements & specifications (i.e. the business rules). • Has a database component to record & manage user operations (e.g. user permissions, passwords & logons), input (e.g. records of certification requests) and system information (e.g. certification records)

  4. Internet-based means? • Server-based IT solutions that provide or consume services through the internet. • Users communicate with the server-based solution by using a web browser. • The solution processes the user requests and automatically facilitates communications between the appropriate participating parties (e.g. certification body)

  5. Guiding Principles • Authentication of source and security of assurance data are paramount • There must be a common understanding of the certification data to be exchanged (i.e. ISPM12) • Simple message transaction types • Focus on transporting certification data rather than total system end-to-end functionality • Loose coupling rather than tight coupling • Standard rules of engagement
