CERTIFICATE  
To convey the public key and the credentials of its owner.

Dependency Notes:
1. D5(110, 100) If first, then all

Notes:
2. 0536, if a full certificate (including the USR segment) is not used, the only data elements of the certificate shall be a unique certificate reference made of: the certificate reference (0536), the S500 identifying the issuer certification authority or the S500 identifying the certificate owner, including its public key name. In the case of a non-EDIFACT certificate data element 0545 shall also be present.
3. S500/0538, identifies a public key: either of the owner of this certificate, or the public key related to the private key used by the certificate issuer (certification authority or CA) to sign this certificate.
4. 0507, the original character set encoding of the certificate when it was signed. If no value is specified, the character set encoding corresponds to that identified by the character set repertoire standard.
5. 0543, the original character set repertoire of the certificate when it was signed. If no value is specified, the default is defined in the interchange header.
6. S505, when this certificate is transferred, it will use the default service characters defined in part 1 of ISO 9735, or those defined in the service string advice, if used. This data element may specify the service characters used when the certificate was signed. If this data element is not used then they are the default service characters.
7. S501, dates and times involved in the certification process. Four occurrences of this composite data element are possible: one for the certificate generation date and time, one for the certificate start of validity period, one for the certificate end of validity period, one for revocation date and time.
