U.S. Dept. of Defense Taps VeriSign for MPKI

September 29, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- VeriSign (verisign.com) announced today it has been selected to provide hosting, security consulting, authentication services and Managed Public Key Infrastructure (MPKI) services for the U.S. Department of Defense’s Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE), a system that will allow overseas citizens to cast absentee ballots in the 2004 election.

The decision to outsource VeriSign was made in consultation with Accenture. "Accenture chose VeriSign for the SERVE project because of the company's experience and success securing other digital government systems and applications," said Meg T. McLaughlin, chief executive of Accenture eDemocracy Services.
