Offline Certificate Validation has been enhanced to include the following rules and 

procedures: 

The diagram below illustrates the peer certificate validation procedure.
•

The credentials of each certificate received from a networked peer are verified against a 

repository of trusted certificates. (Each networked entity contains a repository of 

trusted certificates.) 

•

The digital signature of the certificate’s issuing authority is checked along with the 

certificate’s validity (expiration date).

•

The DNS name field in the entity’s certificate is checked for a match with the entity’s 

DNS name.
