Frequently Asked Questions about PKI
PKI Information:
All DoD employees (military and Civilian), including DoD Contractors that are working on site (military/government facilities) or contractors working offsite using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) are eligible to obtain certificates from DoD PKI. If the contactor doesn't work on site or with GFE they are encouraged to obtain and use a certificate from an External Certificate Authority (ECA).
External Certificate Authority
External Certificate Authorities (ECAs) provide digital certificates to the DoD's private industry partners, contractors using their own equipment or working in non-government facilities, allied partners, and other agencies.
