Minn. To customize this commercial product for the Defense Department, TRW has added interfaces to numerous government and commercial entities such as DOD s PKI, Defense Table of Distances, accounting and disbursement systems, credit card vendors and commercial travel offices to name a few. Time and again, TRW has successfully demonstrated DTS ability to use DOD PKI certificates for both user authentication and digital signatures. We actively participate in DOD PKI working groups. To suggest that DOD should piggyback on the Transportation Department s governmentwide travel system is like comparing an airliner with a jet fighter. Although both will get you from Point A to Point B, each offers different capabilities to meet mission and customer needs.
