**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Department of Defense (DOD) and the U.S. Army are enhancing customer identification security as part of an overall program to provide a stronger and more secure authentication process for accessing DOD information systems. As of 1 October 2011, Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) will meet this DOD mandate by requiring the use of a digital certificate for industry partners requiring access to SDDC information systems. Userid and password access will be discontinued on 30 September 2011.

The External Certification Authority (ECA) program supports the issuance of DOD-approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations that conduct business with the DOD. The ECA program is designed to provide a mechanism for these entities to securely communicate with the DOD and authenticate to DOD Information Systems. Additional information can be found at: http:// iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/.

The ECA Certificates can be purchased through three sources: VeriSign, Operational Research Consultants (ORC), or Identrust. The following URLs provide additional information and links to purchase
