*As represented by OIDs listed in the Certificate Policies extension of the partner certificate; a certificate must assert at least one approved assurance level to be acceptable for use.

**Note:  These lists are developed and maintained by DoD PKE based on CRLDP and AIA OCSP values asserted in sample certificates provided to DoD by the partner PKI for testing; they are provided for ease of reference and may not be exhaustive in all cases.  Any CRL URL asserted in a CRLDP extension or OCSP URL asserted in an AIA extension of an approved certificate is approved for use by DoD relying parties.
