GFIPM Technical Role Code V2

2.1

Usage Information

Note that certificate authority ("CA") is included in the code set for the sake of completeness, as it is one of the GFIPM technical roles defined in the GFIPM Terminology Matrix; however, a typical GFIPM entity will not have any reason to assert "CA" as its technical role.
