Country Signing Certificate Authority Managed Services for ePassport Application

The United Nations seeks a supplier to manage the generation and secure storage of country signing key pairs, the self-certification of the country signing key pairs, generation of the CSCA certificate as well as the certification of the document signing public key for the issuance of ICAO document 9303 compliant electronic travel documents.

The supplier is also expected to provide and maintain secure access to the CSCA signing services. For each document signing and master list signing key pair generated by third party systems, the United Nations will access the CSCA through the supplier’s secure access mechanism to certify the public key of that signing key pair.

A CSCA service will also maintain and regularly issue certificate revocation lists.

The intent of this EOI notice is to encourage experienced, reputable companies to express their interest (if already registered as UN vendor) or apply for registration as a UN vendor so that they can be considered for invitation to bid in such solicitations.
