Description

Penn's Information Systems and Computing division (ISC) maintains Penn's licenses with Internet2 to distribute InCommon Certificate Service throughout the University. OSL controls access to the InCommon Certificate site and organizes the process by identifying who is requesting the cert, approving the requests, and tracking expiration dates. In some cases, special domain validation is needed which OSL coordinates.

InCommon offers SSL/TLS, extended validation (EV), client (personal), code signing, IGTF server, and ECC (Elliptical Curve Cryptography) certificates for all of your domains. All of the domains you own or control (.edu, .net, .org, .com, and others) are covered.
