[0028] The term "and / or" or "and / or" includes all combinations of any one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the principles of a method for identifying the reliability level of a digital certificate provided in an embodiment of this specification may include: Optionally, before S110, the steps include: The certificate issuing authority formulates digital certificate policies and business rules, and issues certificate configuration rule templates to the registration authority.

[0030] In the specific implementation of this specification, a certificate authority (CA) develops a policy framework defining the technical requirements for digital certificate reliability levels (e.g., identity strength and cryptographic component benchmarks) based on international standards and industry specifications, and converts this into a machine-readable structured configuration template. This template is securely distributed to a registration authority (RA) via a cryptographic signature channel. The RA system parses the template and automatically matches the reliability level to the certificate request, achieving zero-ambiguity in policy implementation and automated level binding. When the CA updates the policy, an incremental synchronization mechanism ensures that the new regulations take effect in real time across all RAs in the network, dynamically maintaining the compliance and cross-border mutual recognition compatibility of the certificate system, and providing standardized pre-conditions for the reliable generation of RCStatements extensions.

[0031] S110: The registration authority obtains the digital certificate request sent by the applicant; S120: The registration authority determines the type of the digital certificate and its reliability level based on the digital certificate request, and authenticates the identity of the applicant; S130: When the identity authentication of the applicant is normal, the certificate issuing authority embeds an explicit reliability level identification extension in the digital certificate based on the type of the digital certificate and its reliability level; wherein the explicit reliability level identification extension includes a digital certificate reliability level identifier, an identity authentication field, a cryptographic component identifier, a certificate purpose identifier, and a compliance audit identifier; S140: The certificate issuing authority digitally signs the digital certificate containing the explicit reliability level identification extension to obtain a digital certificate with an explicit reliability level identification.

[0032] In the specific implementation of this specification, the registration authority parses the content of the digital certificate request, automatically associates the certificate type with the reliability level based on a pre-configured rule base, and completes the identity verification of the applicant through multi-factor authentication. After verification, the certificate authority dynamically generates a structured RCStatements extension in the X.509 certificate extension area. As shown in Table 1, this extension explicitly embeds five self-verifying elements: reliability level identification, identity authentication method, cryptographic security standard, usage scenario, and compliance audit status. After digital signature, it forms a digital certificate with self-contained trust evidence. This process achieves end-to-end automated trust anchoring, avoiding reliance on external policy files and manual interpretation ambiguity. Its standardized field design provides an unambiguous verification foundation for cross-border mutual recognition, reconstructing an efficient and reliable digital trust system.

[0033] Table 1 Content and definition of digital certificate reliability level extension items Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a method for verifying the reliability level of a digital certificate provided in an embodiment of this specification may include: Optionally, before S210, the steps include: The relying party formulates a checking strategy for the explicit reliability level identification extension of the digital certificate based on the application scenario, and configures the checking strategy and its associated data set to the verification system.

[0034] In the specific implementation of this specification, the relying party extracts and generates a machine-executable explicit reliability level identification extension verification policy based on the security requirements of the business scenario, converting abstract rules into verification instructions for certificate embedded fields (such as reliability level and cryptographic standard). At the same time, the necessary reference data is pre-stored in the verification system's security sandbox, creating a completely self-contained closed-loop verification environment. This process achieves lossless translation from business security intent to technical verification, mitigating external data access risks. Through hot reloading mechanisms and isolation from multi-tenant policies, it ensures the autonomy, real-time performance, and reliability of the verification system in complex scenarios such as cross-border network outages, reshaping the foundation for efficient and anti-interference digital trust verification.

[0035] S210: Obtaining a digital certificate with an explicit reliability level identification; S220: Performing explicit identification extension verification on the digital certificate with the explicit reliability level identification, and outputting a reliability level compliance verification result; S230: When the reliability level compliance verification result is compliance, the verification of the digital certificate with the explicit reliability level identifier is completed.

[0036] Optionally, the step S220 includes: Parse the reliability level identification field of the digital certificate to extract the certificate type and reliability level compliance statement; Verify the identity authentication field to confirm that the applicant's identity authentication result is normal; Verify the cryptographic component identification field, matching the commercial cryptographic product certification certificate number stored locally with the national cryptographic authority filing information stored locally; Verify the certificate purpose identification field to confirm the compliance of the certificate purpose; Parse the compliance audit identification field to confirm the continuous compliance audit results.

[0037] In a specific implementation of this specification, the verification system parses the five self-verifying fields of the RCStatements extension within a digital certificate (reliability level identifier, identity authentication field, cryptographic component identifier, certificate purpose identifier, and compliance audit identifier). Through field verification, it achieves machine translation of reliability level requirements: abstract compliance requirements are converted into technical rules such as cryptographic standard matching and audit time verification, completing full-factor verification in a closed environment. The verification log automatically generates a non-repudiation electronic evidence chain, ultimately outputting a final determination of reliability level compliance. This method eliminates the reliance on cross-border document retrieval and manual interpretation, achieves reliability level verification, and adapts to multi-jurisdictional compliance requirements with a flexible field combination mechanism, reconstructing a trusted verification foundation for high-throughput scenarios.

[0038] In the present invention, by embedding a structured RCStatements extension (including five self-verification fields such as the reliability level identifier) ​​in the digital certificate, the dependence on external certificate policy files is eliminated and the risk of file invalidation is avoided; during verification, the fields in the certificate are directly parsed to realize automatic verification of the reliability level, solving the problem of low efficiency of traditional manual interpretation; at the same time, the abstract reliability level requirements are translated into field rules to generate a traceable electronic evidence chain, realizing end-to-end mechanized reliability level compliance judgment, which helps the business application system to quickly identify certificates of the required reliability level and verify the compliance of the certificate reliability level.
