changed the links to point to fpki.idmanagement.gov pages updated to show that the mozilla application has been closed minor nit: there are non-USG operated publicly trusted root CAs that still create valid paths in some trust stores to federal pki issued certs. whether this is desirable or intentional is not addressed.

| The [Federal PKI](https://fpki.idmanagement.gov) root is trusted by some browsers and operating systems, but is not contained in the [Mozilla Trusted Root Program](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/). The Mozilla Trusted Root Program is used by Firefox, many Android devices, and a variety of other devices and operating systems. This means that the Federal PKI is not able to issue certificates for use in TLS/HTTPS that are trusted widely enough to secure a web service used by the general public. | ||

| The Federal PKI has an [open application](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478418) to the Mozilla Trusted Root Program. However, even if the Federal PKI's application is accepted, it will take a significant amount of time for the Federal PKI's root certificate to actually be shipped onto devices and propagate widely around the world. | ||
| The Federal PKI and Mozilla have [closed the application](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478418) to include the Federal PKI root in the Mozilla Trusted Root Program. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we could actually just delete the paragraph altogether.

@lachellel I removed the Mozilla paragraph altogether, since I don't think we need to acknowledge a closed bug now. Thank you for doing this! |
