ECA Certificates are issued to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. There are three External Certification Authority (ECAs) that are appropriate for WICAP:

- Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC) - (http://www.eca.orc.com)
- Symantec (formerly Verisign) - (http://www.symantec.com/page.jsp?id=eca-certificates​)
You must obtain an ECA Certificate from one of these providers.The DoD cannot recommend a specific provider. ​ To continue with the registration process, insert your CAC into the reader or if using an ECA Certificate, make sure it has been installed for your web browser. In either case, when prompted, please select your "EMAIL" certificate.
