The NG9-1-1 Interoperability Oversight Commission (NIOC) is pleased to announce it has issued its root certificate for PSAP Credentialing Agency (PCA), establishing the base for secure interoperability in Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) systems.

The standards-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) will enable disparate jurisdictions to interoperate their 9-1-1 systems securely and seamlessly with a shared root of trust, using credentials based on ANSI-approved consensus standards.

"This is a landmark achievement that reflects the original vision of NG9-1-1 standards, including the NENA i3 standard," said Steve McMurrer, Chair of NIOC. "On behalf of all the commission members, I would like to thank our public and private partners for making this possible. The vision of an interoperable, standards-based cybersecurity system has been a key objective of our collective standards work."
