VeriSign is certified by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) as a provider of PKI digital certificates for external entities (government contractors, state and local governments and individuals). External Certification Authority (ECA) certificates enable secure on-line transactions with government agencies. Installed in a browser or email program, ECA certificates can be used for such activities as; authenticating identity for access to DoD Web sites and applications, digitally signing documents, and for encrypting e-mail communications.
VeriSign ECA certificates are sold as a set including both an ECA Identity certificate and an ECA Encryption certificate. A key escrow service protects and enables the recovery of a private encryption key in the event that a user loses the key and needs to access information previously encrypted with the key.
