Federal Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Federal Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a secure system used by government organizations to manage digital certificates and encryption keys. It helps verify identities online, ensuring that communications and transactions are safe from fraud and cyber threats. PKI enables secure email, digital signatures, and access to government services by allowing users to prove their identity and protect sensitive information. Essentially, it establishes a trusted framework that ensures only authorized users can access certain resources while keeping data confidential and secure from unauthorized access.
