(iii) Extended Validation Certificate Certification Practice Statement;

(iv) agreement concerning signature based on DigiCert's Root CA; and

(v) laws of Japan that are applicable to the operations to be performed by the Certification Authority established in Japan.

The Certification Authority is compliant with the latest version of the EV Guidelines and the Baseline

Requirements Certificate Policy for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates

("BR", “EV Guidelines” and ”BR” collectively, "Guidelines, etc.") published in

http://www.cabforum.org. If there is any discrepancy between this "Extended Validation Certificate

Certification Practice Statement" (this "CPS") and the Guidelines, etc., the Guidelines, etc. shall prevail.

This CPS prescribes the requirements for the Certification Authority to issue certificates. The

Upon specifying the various requirements in this CPS, the Certification Authority shall adopt the

RFC3647 "Certificate Policy and Certification Practices Framework" set forth by the IETF PKIX

Working Group. RFC3647 is an international guideline that sets forth the framework of CPS or CP.

Matters that do not apply to the Certification Authority in the respective provisions of this CPS provided

based on the framework of RFC3647 will be indicated as "Not applicable".

The Certification Authority will not individually prescribe a policy for each subscriber certificate

("CP"), and this CPS shall include the respective CPs.

shall be limited to the application supervisor, or a procedural manager who is authorized by the

application supervisor to submit an application. The procedural manager may be appointed among

persons inside or outside the subscriber's organization. When the procedural manager is to be appointed

a certificate, the Registration Authority shall screen the following matters based on this CPS:

(i) legal and physical existence of subscribers;

(ii) existence of the subscriber's business (provided, however, that this shall be implemented when 3 years have not elapsed from the establishment of the subscriber's organization, and

its physical existence cannot be verified in the screening);
