Discussion

Untrusted Certificate Authorities (CA) can issue certificates, but they may be issued by organizations or individuals that seek to compromise DoW systems or by organizations with insufficient security controls. If the CA used for verifying the certificate is not a DoW-approved CA, trust of this CA has not been established. The DoW will only accept PKI certificates obtained from a DoW-approved internal or external certificate authority. Reliance on CAs for the establishment of secure sessions includes, for example, the use of SSL/TLS certificates. SIG(0) relies on PKI-based authentication, so if SIG(0) is being used, this requirement is applicable.

2. Select the "Certificates" dropdown from the toolbar on right.
3. Select "Manage CA Certificates" from menu.

If certificates are used that have not been issued by a DoW Certificate Authority (CA), or are no longer valid, this is a finding.
