mandataire de certification

French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) PKI
Hello,
I need an accurate translation of MC. See context + separate definition found on the Web below:

désigne une personne physique mandatée par l’Entité Légale du Contact Technique (i) pour procéder, au nom et pour le compte de ce dernier, aux Demandes de Certificats auprès de l’AE, et (ii) pour se voir remettre, au nom et pour le compte du Contact Technique, les Supports de bi-clés.

Mandataire de certification (MC) :Le mandataire de certification est la personne qui centralise les demandes de certificat au sein d’une entreprise. Il est désigné par et placé sous la responsabilité de l’entité cliente. Il est en relation directe avec l’Autorité d’Enregistrement (AE). Il assure pour elle un certain nombre de vérifications concernant l’identité et, éventuellement, les attributs des gestionnaires de certificat et des serveurs informatiques de cette entité.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you Germaine - that is exactly what I had decided to use! I think it works just fine here, and it's nice to have your confirmation. Cheers.
Germaine Mar 23, 2012:
I would say... Certification Agent. In your case, mandat = Agency. Mandataire = Agent - A person acting for and on behalf of another. You can check the meaning on www.granddictionnaire.com.
Idna (asker) Mar 22, 2012:
Thank you for your reply but I don't think your suggestion fits my context. The MC is more of a "legal representative" within a company who can authorize certificate issuance, renewal and revocation on behalf of the company he/she represents. He isn't partnering in any way with the company offering the certificate services such as Verisign. Any more ideas?

certification authority partner/reseller

Certification Authorities generally seem to call these "partners" or "resellers".
