Implementation of DoD Public Key Infrastructure Policy and Procedures
Abstract
Introduction. Federal agencies, including DoD, are increasingly using the World Wide Web and other Internet-based applications to provide on-line public access to information and services as well as to improve internal business operations. However, the potential for improvements in service delivery and productivity due to electronic and Internet-based applications come with many of the security risks faced by existing systems as well as new risks. To achieve information superiority in a highly interconnected, shared-risk environment, DoD Information Assurance capabilities must address the pervasiveness of information as a vital aspect of warfighting and business operations. The Defense-in-Depth strategy is the technical strategy that underlies DoD information assurance in which layers of defense are used to achieve security objectives. One element of the Defense-in-Depth strategy is the use of a common, integrated, interoperable DoD Public Key Infrastructure to enable security services at multiple levels of assurance. As of October 2000, the finding allocation for the DoD Public Key Infrastructure for FYs 2001 through 2005 was about $712 million.
