Public Key Infrastructure Roadmap for the Department of Defense

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) is the critical underpinning of the Department's Information Assurance (IA) capabilities and is a vital element in achieving a secure IA posture for the Defense Information Infrastructure (DII). Accordingly, it is imperative that the Department takes an aggressive approach in acquiring a KMI that meets the requirements for all IA services. The DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is an essential element and a major component of the KMI. PKI, as defined herein, refers to the framework and services that provide for the generation, production, distribution, control, and tracking of public key certificates.
