What is one responsibility that is NOT required of a Trusted Agent?

The role of a Trusted Agent (TA) in the US Army Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) involves several important responsibilities centered around the management and verification of identity and access within the PKI system. One of the key responsibilities is verifying a subscriber's identity, which ensures that the individuals receiving digital certificates are indeed who they claim to be. Additionally, TAs may be involved in managing and overseeing various PKI-related tasks, often including the installation of security software to safeguard the integrity of the infrastructure.

Issuing security clearances and managing email accounts, however, are not typically within the scope of a Trusted Agent's responsibilities. While security clearances are important for overall security protocols, they are generally handled by different administrative or security personnel, rather than by TAs directly. Similarly, managing email accounts pertains more to IT support roles rather than the trust management activities associated with PKI. This distinction clarifies that the responsibilities of a Trusted Agent focus primarily on identity and access management rather than broader administrative or IT tasks. Thus, issuing security clearances is not required as part of the Trusted Agent's duties.
