Certificate Authority

Certificate Authority details

This article provides the details of the root and subordinate Certificate Authorities (CAs) utilized by FNET. The minimum requirements for public key encryption and signature algorithms, links to certificate downloads and revocation lists, and information about key concepts are provided below the CA details tables. The host names for the URIs that should be added to your firewall allowlists are also provided.
