Public Trust PKI Certificate Policy Update

US Federal Public Trust TLS Certificate Policy

The current version (v1.0) of the US Federal Public Trust TLS Certificate Policy has been archived. This version of the policy was completed in 2019 in order to prepare for a publicly trusted government operated PKI aimed at facilitating TLS certificate issuance for .mil and .gov websites.

Document Updates

As the initial operational capability of the US Federal Public Trust PKI is nearing, the US Federal Public Trust TLS Certificate Policy is currently undergoing revisions in order to accommodate the Certification Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum’s most recent updates to their baseline requirements for public trust TLS.

Moving forward the updated certificate policy will be approved by the FPKIPA and published to devicepki.idmanagement.gov, and will be announced here in the FPKI Playbook Announcements, stay tuned.
