Internet PCA Registration Authority

Root Key

Note: The IPRA Certificate has been re-issued. The public key remains the same, but the expiration date has been advanced through 9/15/99.

NOTE: It is not known whether or not the Safekeyper box is Y2K compliant or whether or not we will be able to issue a certificate that expires (or is issued) beyond the year 2000!

I am pleased to inform you that we have (finally) created the Internet Society sponsored "Internet PCA Registration Authority" (IPRA). I have enclosed a uuencoded file that contains its self-signed certificate, as well as a version where it is "exploded" (courtesy of the trval program which is part of the TIS/PEM distribution) and finally a more human readable version.

In addition to being available on this Web Page we will shortly be submitting an Internet Informational RFC which will contain it.

The IPRA will be operated under the authority of the Internet Society by MIT for a period of time after which physical control will be turned over to Internet Society staff (or other designated party as determined by the Society).

The IPRA Private Key is protected via a Certificate Signature Unit. Click here to read more about this technology

You can get the IPRA Certificate in a form downloadable into Netscape version 2.0 (or greater) here: http://bs.mit.edu/ipra.ca.
