Experimental Operation of the CA
The WIDE Project moCA working group (henceforth "WG") is experimentally operating a certification authority (CA). (reference: about moCA experiments) moCA stands for "member oriented CA" and is a CA tailored to the needs of the WIDE members.
Installing the WIDE ROOT CA Digital Certificate
In order to use a digital certificate published by the moCA WG, the certificate for the "WIDE ROOT CA" must be installed in your Web browser or email client first. For the installation procedures, please refer to the manuals of the individual software.
- WIDE ROOT CA's DN (Distinguished Name): WIDE ROOT CA 02
- WIDE ROOT CA's certificate: wideroot-cacert_4096.cer
wideroot-cacert_4096.cer
After installing the WIDE ROOT CA certificate, please make sure to confirm thatthe "fingerprints" are correct.

To the Members of WIDE
- Re-issuing Your WIDE Member Certificate
- WIDE Server Certificates
Your WIDE Member Certificate is sent to the email address used to register as a WIDE member, either at registration time or in early June every other year. Should you require the certificate to be re-issued, please contact moca-key-req(at)wide.ad.jp using the email address registered at wide@wide.
A WIDE Server Sertificate is a server certificate issued to a WIDE member upon request. Any WIDE member may make a request for a server certificate. This server certificate may be used for a TLS/SSL server, which for example, could perform user authentication using WIDE Member Certificates. To request a server certificate, please contact moca-key-req(at)wide.ad.jp with your contact phone number, using the email address registered at wide@wide. An email with a S/MIME digital signature would help to decrease the time from request to issuance.
