Re: [Fed-Talk] DoD PKI update

The emails you're getting should not be signed with expired certs. That failure is most likely because we now have a second, 2048-bit root (DoD Root CA 2) and a set of issuers under it (CAs 11-14 are up, 15-18 to follow soon--again, both ID and email), and we *are* issuing end-entity certs from these CAs. The new DoD root is not in the 10.4 install, but I expect them in Leopard though it would be nice to have in 10.4.8 if it ever gets that far (Shawn, are you listening?).

    Is there some way I can download/install/update
my keychain with a current set of DoD PKI certificates
from an ordinary (USA) IP address ?

Issuing CAs and CRLs are available from the DISA GDS site:

https://crl.gds.disa.mil

Which should be public, IIRC. At least I can get to it from .mitre.org.

The sticker is the DoD Root CA 2. Distributing roots is a tricky proposition; you're supposed to get them from trusted channels. As a result, you can't download the DoD Root CA 2 cert from that site like you can the issuing CAs.

Somehow under OS X 10.4.7 I already have DoD Root CA 2 under my "login" keychain. I gather it did not come via an Apple update given it's location, therefore I think I obtained it because of another certificate that depended on it and included it.


I also have DOD EMAIL CA-12 in my "login" keychain, but my certificates are DOD Class 3 Email CA-10 so it's not from my CAC card.

However, I have located exactly one local person in my login keychain who is DOD EMAIL CA-12 and everyone at my location receives email from that person, so I suspect every OS X 10.4.x user at my location also has DoD Root CA 2.
