1 DoD PKI Automatic Key Recovery Philip Noble (520) or DSN , U.S. Army Information Systems Engineering Command Fort Huachuca, AZ August 2015 Mike Danberry last reviewed on 10 August The most current version of this guide can be downloaded from: ISEC: Excellence in Engineering

2 The Problem: One problem in the past with the DoD PKI infrastructure was the inability to recover Common Access Card (CAC) private encryption keys and certificates that were either expired or revoked. This becomes necessary when a CAC is lost and its certificates are revoked or when a CAC and the certificates it contains simply expires and is surrendered to DEERS/RAPIDS before the user s encrypted s / files have been decrypted. An Auto Key Recovery capability has been fielded by DISA to permit holders of new CACs to retrieve encryption keys/certificates from previous cards to permit decryption of old and files. NOTE: Please know that in April 2014, DISA changed the links for recovery to ONLY be available from the unclassified Government network. This means home users will have to the address on slide 7. 2
