Federal Bridge Certification Authority
The FBCA is the Federal Bridge CA 2016.
FPKI Federal Bridge Logo The FBCA is a PKI Bridge or link between the FCPCA and other CAs that comprise the FPKI network and that may operate under comparable but different certificate policies.
The FBCA provides a means to map these certificate policies and CAs and allow certificates to validate to the FCPCA root certificate.
The CAs with certificates signed by the Federal Bridge CA 2016 are cross-certified. These CAs have established a trust relationship with the FPKI and are audited annually for conformance to the certificate policies. This cross-certification process has extended the reach of the FPKI well beyond the boundaries of the Federal Government.
SHA-1 Federal Root Certification Authority
The SHA-1 Federal Root CA G2 (SHA1 FRCA) was created and is maintained to facilitate backwards interoperability for government legacy systems unable to transition to SHA-256.
The deprecated SHA-1 hash algorithm has been deemed not secure enough for today’s federal systems. Federal agencies should no longer generate, use, or accept certificates with the SHA-1 hash.
