Buy an FIS digital credential 

Exostar’s Federated Identity Service (FIS) is a fully-managed public key infrastructure (PKI) service for the issuance and maintenance of digital certificates.  As part of a suite of identity management services offered by Exostar, FIS is a comprehensive PKI solution that enables full lifecycle management of certificates, strong authentication practices and controlled access to applications through Exostar’s Managed Access Gateway (MAG) - minimizing risk and assuring that resources and intellectual assets are protected over the extended enterprise.  Because it is operationally modeled after and is compliant with CertiPath (the PKI cross-certification bridge) security policies and federal best-practice guidelines, FIS is ideal to enable sensitive online transactions and secure access to information.

DoD Interoperability

Exostar’s FIS digital certificates are authorized and accepted by the Department of Defense (DoD).  Exostar successfully passed Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) testing in early 2009.  Now your FIS certificates from Exostar may be formally accepted by Government agencies, including the DoD, for authentication to web applications.
