Policy: The designer and IAO will ensure PK-enabled applications are designed and implemented to use approved credentials authorized under the DoD PKI program. The IAO will ensure the PK-enabled applications are configured to honor only approved DoD PKI certificates. If the application is not PK-enabled, this check is not applicable. If the application resides on the SIPRNet and PKI infrastructure is unavailable, this check is not applicable. Ask whether the application utilizes PKI certificates other than DoD PKI and External Certification Authority (ECA) certificates. Verify the certificate used in authentication in APP3280.
