Digital certificate clearinghouse needs work
The mechanism that allows a digital certificate to be used across
government agencies must be upgraded before it will be available for the
entire government, a federal information technology official said today.
The Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA) is the central
mechanism that handles digital certificates for transactions secured by
any participating agency's public-key infrastructure (PKI). Clients of
FBCA participants do not need certificates from every agency with which
they do business.
