Federal Bridge Certificate Authority (FBCA)

The Federal Bridge Certificate Authority (FBCA) is a key component of the U.S. government's secure communication network. It provides a trusted framework that allows different federal, state, and local agencies to verify each other’s digital identities through digital certificates. These certificates ensure that online transactions and communications are secure and trustworthy, similar to how a driver's license proves your identity. By linking various Certificate Authorities (CAs), the FBCA facilitates secure interactions across government entities, enhancing cybersecurity while maintaining the integrity of information exchange.
