RE: DoD X.509 Certificate Policy

["Gerretson, Jim" <jlgerre@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The official answer is that DoD is NOT moving away from FORTEZZA cards.
I've seen some of their briefings and they are doing some interesting
things.  They are looking into smart cards and USB as well.

[or anyone else]

The DOD X.509 Certificate Policy, Version 2.0 dated March 1999 discusses
a CRL validity period for class 4 certificates as DAILY.  If class 4 
certificates equate to FORTEZZA certificates, current policy (NAG-69B) 
now says 28 days.  Does anyone know if NAG-69/current policy has been
changed?

Is DOD moving away from FORTEZZA?  Is DOD looking at smart cards or
Universal Serial Bus?

I believe these documents are official, if not final.  They are the versions
which people are currently using.  I have mentioned several times that the
NSFF web site does not have these current versions, but so far the site has
not been updated, so apparently I haven't mentioned it to the right people.
