More CILogon Certificates Now IGTF Accredited

Post date: Jul 1, 2014 6:10:14 PM

CILogon certificates are now more widely accepted due to recent accreditation by the Interoperable Global Trust Federation (igtf.net). The CILogon Basic Certification Authority is now an IGTF accredited Identifier-Only Trust Assurance (IOTA) provider. As discussed in a previous news item, this new accreditation enables CILogon to provide IGTF certificates to users from all InCommon identity providers, not just InCommon Silver identity providers. As a result, CILogon certificates can now be used more broadly for access to XSEDE service providers as documented at http://www.cilogon.org/xsede.
