Remarks regarding this section

AAI infrastructure is partly provided by NIIF/Hungarnet (PKI/CA; contact person is the NREN Technical Director, see 6.24), and partly outsourced to MTA SzTAKI (Directory Service; for contact person see 5.3 above). Since 5.3 doesn't allow providing information about both components of the AAI infrastructure, details just about the Directory Service are made available there.
