PKI Coming to the U.S. Army

Frank Tiboni writes on FCW.com:

The Army started implementing a servicewide program this month that will require employees to use public-key infrastructure (PKI) technologies to log on to the military’s unclassified network.

The Army’s Common Access Card (CAC) Cryptographic Logon uses a special identification card and a personal identification number to access the Non-secure IP Router Network (NIPRNET). The service plans to have 10,000 workers at Army headquarters using PKI by March and all employees by this summer, according to a Jan. 25 Army statement.
