The cost for 1st option (device vendor gets certificate, vendor does the GSD singing) is mentioned 900 Euro. Does that include cost of smart card and all the tools from PI that are required to sign the GSD?

The Cost for 2nd option (GSD signing service of the PNO) , the cost mentioned is 900 Euro and 190 Euro. what does that mean?

In both options I am talking about cost for PI members. Also Prolongation means , certificate renewal after 3 years which is 800 Euro?

1st Option:
The price of 900 Euro includes a smart card and a 3 year-license (single license for 1 named user) for the signing tool.
If you need additional licenses for more users, each licence will cost 360 Euro for 3 years.

2nd Option:
900 Euro is the initial fee. It includes the same services as Option 1 with te difference, that the smartcard is not shipped to the customer, it will be kept in a secure place at PNO.

For 190 Euro you get the following service for 3 year:
When having booked option 2 a customer can send us ONE unsignded GSD-File to PNO and we will sign it with the customers certificate (using his smartcard we are keeping on site), and we will provide a download link for the signed file.
Each signing process performed by us will be charged with 190 Euro.

Whose name will be there on the certificate that is issued for signing? PNIO or Vendor's name?

Thank you!

Thank you!

The certificate is exclusively created for the vendor and contains the vendors data.
In the oder process (both options) you are asked for the following vendor data which will become part of your certificate:

Vendor ID
Organisation (= company name)
Department (optional)
Location
Country
State
E-Mail Address (optional)

PNO has set up its own public key infrastructure and is the issuer of the certificate.
