For government entities in the DIT, their Distinguished Names (DNs) were specified according to the related government organizational laws, such as Organizational Act of the Executive Yuan ("Executive Yuan" is our Cabinet.). For private organizations such as companies or business entities, their Distinguished Names (DNs) were specified according to the name rules required by the related registration laws such as Company Act or Business Registration Act. The DIT naming rules were then incorporated into the CPS of CAs in the GPKI and were also incorporated into the Certificate and CRL profiles of the GPKI. Our Government CA needs to follow the naming rules specified in the CPS and the Certificate Profile.

Is the DIT hierarchy defined in law?  I understand that the designers of the DIT naming rules look at at the various laws, but do any of them refer to the names in a X.500 directory and/or in Certificates?

Thanks,
