Electronic authentication procedures govern Digital Signature Certificate issuance, subscriber key control, secure storage, and revocation through trusted third parties.

Electronic authentication using Aadhaar or other e-KYC services uses e-authentication, hash functions and asymmetric cryptographic systems to support Digital Signature Certificate issuance. Verified identity information, prescribed applicant particulars and electronic consent underpin issuance. A trusted third party made available by the certifying authority can generate and store the subscriber's key pair, create the digital signature and transmit certificate materials. Controller-issued guidelines govern authentication, key security and related e-KYC services.
