CP/CPS
CP: A Certificate Policy (CP) focuses on certificates and the different actors of a public key infrastructure (PKI), their roles, and their duties regarding these certificates.
CPS: A Certification Practice Statement (CPS) is a document from a certificate authority (CA) which describes their practice for issuing, storing, revoking, and managing public key certificates. The CPS is driven by the CP, so you can say it translates the CP into operational procedures on the CA level. Together, the CP and CPS show how the CA manages public key encryption.
