ORCA

Online Registration and Credential Administration

Online Registration and Credential Administration (ORCA) is an online system that enables users to securely create and manage their PKI identity-based credential (myKEY).  To obtain a myKEY through ORCA, personal information, such as name, e-mail, address, personal identification number (PRI) and data of birth must be provided. Users who obtained their myKEY using ORCA can also use the system to recover their myKEY, if misplaced or the password is forgotten.


myKEY

ICM is also branding the current ID-Based Certificate myKEYmyKEY, also known as : PKI Key, PKI Certificate, SAKMS Certificate, Entrust Profile or ID-Based Certificate, provides the same functionality as the current PKI Key.
So when you talk about a PKI Key or a Digital Certificate or a Common Credential, you’re talking about myKEY.

*** Note ***
myKEY is the new brand name for the current ICM ID-based certificate. If you have already obtained an ICM ID-based credential through your Local Registration Authority (LRA), you do not need to sign up for a myKEY, nor can you use ORCA to recover your LRA-issued myKEY.
