State of Illinois

Certification Authority (CA) demonstrations were conducted to ensure interoperability. Each requirement was successfully demonstrated.

In order for the CAs to generate properly populated subjectKeyIdentifier fields, the State of Illinois, as well as the Prototype FBCA, had to follow a documented procedure to change their algorithms to match that of the respective CA. The cross-certification between the two CAs was successful upon each CA changing their subjectKeyIdentifier algorithm.

The State of Illinois' firewalls were configured to allow access on the correct port, which allowed successful chaining from the Prototype FBCA ISODE directory to the Illinois Siemens DirX online directory, and vice versa.

On December 9, 2003, the Federal PKI Policy Authority voted on and approved cross-certification with the State of Illinois CA at the medium level of assurance.
