How does a subscriber receive their token from the Enhanced Trusted Agent (ETA)?

A subscriber receives their token from the Enhanced Trusted Agent (ETA) through a face-to-face meeting. This process is established to ensure security and proper identity verification. By conducting the token issuance in person, the ETA can confirm the subscriber’s identity, ensuring that the correct individual receives the token, which is essential for access to PKI services. This method minimizes the risk of token misappropriation and reinforces the importance of handling sensitive materials directly and securely.

Other methods such as mailing or using an online portal could pose security risks if not appropriately secured, while telephone interactions cannot sufficiently verify identity for the high-stakes nature of PKI. Therefore, face-to-face meetings prioritize the integrity and security necessary for issuing cryptographic tokens.
