DD Form 2842 "DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Subscriber Certificate Acceptance and Acknowledgement of Responsibilities"

What Is DD Form 2842?

DD Form 2842, DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Subscriber Certificate Acceptance and Acknowledgement of Responsibilities is a form filed when applying for a personal identifier necessary for accessing most content on federal websites. Disclosure of any information pertaining to the DD Form 2842 is voluntarily, but no PKI private keys will be issued if the applicant fails to provide the requested information.

The latest version of the form - sometimes incorrectly referred to as the DA Form 2842 - was released by the Department of Defense (DoD) in August 2009. An up-to-date DD Form 2842 fillable version is available for download and digital filing below or can be found through the Executive Services Directorate website.

Most of the content on government websites can be accessed only if a user has a Federal/DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Personal Identity Verification (PIV), or a Common Access Card (CAC) installed in their browser. After the applicant successfully files the DD 2842, they will receive the certificates and keys needed to verify their digital signature and identity on these websites and gain access to certain systems.

It's extremely important for subscribers to keep their access codes private. Writing them down - for instance - is prohibited. The key recovery base provides the opportunity to recover any lost data if necessary. If the codes are lost or misplaced, the subscriber must immediately contact their supervisor, security officer, Certification Authority (CA), Registration Authority (RA), Local Registration Authority (LRA), Trusted Agent (TA), or Verifying Official (VO).

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT

AUTHORITY: 5 U.S.C. 301, Departmental Regulation; 44 U.S.C. 3101.

PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S): To collect personal identifiers during the certification registration process, to ensure positive

identification of the subscriber who signs this form.

ROUTINE USES: Information is used in the DOD PKI certificate registration process.

DISCLOSURE: Voluntary; however, failure to provide the information may result in denial of issuance of a token containing

PKI private keys.

You have been authorized to receive one or more private and public key pairs and associated certificates. A private key

enables you to digitally sign documents and messages and identify yourself to gain access to systems. You may have

another private key to decrypt data such as encrypted messages. People and electronic systems inside and outside the DoD

will use public keys associated with your private keys to verify your digital signature, or to verify your identity when you

attempt to authenticate to systems, or to encrypt data sent to you. The certificates and private keys will be issued on a

token, for example a Common Access Card (CAC), another hardware token, or a floppy disk. The certificates and private

keys on your token are government property and may be used for official purposes only.

Acknowledgement of Responsibilities: I acknowledge receiving my PKI private keys and will comply with the following

obligations:

- I will use my certificates and private keys only for official purposes;

- I will comply with the instructions described to me today for selecting a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or other

required method for controlling access to my private keys and will not disclose same to anyone, leave it where it might

be observed, nor write it on the token itself;

- I understand that if I receive key management (encryption/decryption) key pairs on my token, copies of the private

decryption keys have been provided to the key recovery database in case they need to be recovered; and

- I will report any compromise (e.g., loss, suspected or known unauthorized use, misplacement, etc.) of my PIN or token to

my supervisor, security officer, Certification Authority (CA), Registration Authority (RA), Local Registration Authority

(LRA), Trusted Agent (TA), or Verifying Official (VO), immediately.

Liability: I will have no claim against the DoD arising from use of the Subscriber's certificates, the key recovery process, or a

Certification Authority's (CA's) determination to terminate or revoke a certificate. The DoD is not liable for any losses,

including direct or indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, arising out of or relating to any certificate

issued by a DoD CA.

Governing Law: DoD Public Key Certificates shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.
