Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA)

The Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA) is a government entity that enables secure communication and digital transactions across different federal agencies and departments. It acts as a trust anchor that issues digital certificates, verifying the identity of users and systems. Essentially, the FBCA ensures that when government agencies interact online, they can trust each other’s identities, much like how a driver’s license proves someone’s identity in person. This helps maintain cybersecurity and facilitates cooperation among various branches of the government.
