Letter: Hopeful interoperable identy management systems work

  • Nov 04, 2008
Regarding "Contractors prep interoperable identity management systems"

Hopefully, this will work better than the Defense Department's PKI External Certificate Authority (ECA) program. Since the migration to 2048-bit certificates — required by DOD policy since June 30, 2008 — I've had numerous problems with certain DOD sites, especially AKO, not trusting the new certificate authorities.
