Bank of Zambia Certification Authority Rules
The Bank of Zambia issues these Certification Authority Rules to establish the policy and operational procedures for the Public Key Infrastructure governing the BOZ ZIPSS/CSD system. The document mandates strict identity validation, certificate lifecycle management, and technical security controls for e-tokens to authenticate users and enable digital signatures across interbank payment and settlement networks. It delineates the responsibilities of the Bank as the sole Certification Authority, commercial banks and government agencies acting as Registration Authorities, and individual subscribers, while enforcing compliance with cryptographic standards and legal frameworks.
