VeriSign’s Shared Service Provider (SSP) PKI is the first of 90 products to receive General Services Administration certification through the agency’s FIPS 201 Evaluation Program, said George Schu, public-sector vice president at VeriSign.
The certification enables federal customers to buy FIPS 201-compliant products, Schu said. FIPS 201 is the technical standard for secure federal government credentials, which are required under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12).
