About the PKI PMO
|
Welcome to the C3I Department of Defense (DoD) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Program Management Office(PMO)web page. Here you'll find information about the activities of the DoD PKI PMO. The DoD PKI provides the critical underpinning to the Department's Information Assurance(IA) capabilities and is a vital element in achieving a secure IA posture for the Defense information Infrastructure (DII).
A PKI is the mechanism to support critical DoD applications with public key certificates. These applications afford confidentiality and authentication to communications or network transactions, as well as verification of the data integrity and non-repudiation of these transactions. The DoD PKI PMO was formed in response to an Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (ASD(C3I)) Memorandum dated 9 April 1999.
Realizing that this infrastructure will require the concerted and coordinated efforts of every organization within the Department, the ASD(C3I) has assigned the National Security Agency (NSA) to be the Program Manager (PM) for the implementation of the DoD PKI, and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to serve as the Deputy Program Manager. NSA and DISA will jointly take responsibility for coordinating a DoD-wide implementation of the DoD PKI.
