Gentlemen:

In the framework of the Digital Signature Regulation for the Payment System1, all participants in the Hybrid Settlement Module of the Integrated Payment Settlement System (MLH-LIP) are notified that the gradual replacement of self-signed digital certificates with digital certificates issued by Authorized Certification Entities (ECA) in the MLH of the LIP will proceed.

To this end, the following procedure must be followed to perform operational authorization tests using digital certificates issued by ECAs in the MLH-LIP test environment starting July 3, 2023:

1. Send the data of the technical personnel in charge of the tests (name, position, email address, and contact phone number) to pruebaslip@bcb.gob.bo.
2. Acquire a digital certificate from an ECA (Agency for the Development of the Information Society - ADSIB or Digicert).
3. Send the digital certificate to the email address: pruebaslip@bcb.gob.bo.
4. Each participant must configure in their environments the digital certificate that will be used in the operational authorization tests of the MLH of the LIP.
5. Request test users for the LIP WEB application to the email address pruebaslip@bcb.gob.bo.

1 Approved by Board Resolution No. 075/2020 of August 10, 2020.

6. Register and authorize operations by validating the correct functioning of the digital certificates.
7. Report errors or relevant findings to the email address pruebaslip@bcb.gob.bo.

Questions and inquiries will be addressed through the LIP Help Desk at phones 2661631, 2661649, 2661620, 2661645 or via the institutional email pruebaslip@bcb.gob.bo.
