Partner Bio

The DCSA (Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency) has partnered with IdenTrust to provide identity proofing and issuance of Department of Defense (DoD) External Certificate Authority (ECA) certificates to conduct business electronically. 

Choosing Your Certificate

IdenTrust has worked with our government partners to identify the types of ECA certificates that are allowable under each agency program. 

The ECA Medium Token Assurance | Hardware Storage certificate allows you to store your certificate on an HID Smart card or HID USB token. Before selecting the USB token, please confirm with your organization or worksite(s) that the USB token is accepted.

When you are ready to purchase your certificate, simply select BUY NOW and our Certificate Selection Wizard will assist you in choosing the certificate you need to transact business with one or more government agencies.
