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 using SSL/TLS certificates. The application server must only allow using DoW PKI-established certificate authorities for verification. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000427-AS-000264, SRG-APP-000514-AS-000137
