... At A Glance
The General Services Administration is designated by the Federal PKI Policy Authority as the Management Authority. GSA, as the managing partner, provides the best and most cost-effective Trust Infrastructure services in support of organizations meeting their identity management and data security goals.
Our primary focus is to ensure that common identity and access management policies for secure physical and logical access, document sharing, and communications across Federal agencies and between external business partners are realized through the execution and management of digital certificate policies and standards.
ICAM Alignment
From a macro perspective, the Identity, Credentialing, and Access Management (ICAM) subcommittee has created the ICAM segment architecture to provide federal agencies with a standards-based approach for implementing government-wide ICAM initiatives.
At the technology layer of the ICAM Segment Architecture, the Management Authority manages the Trust Infrastructure - the foundation to support the leveraging of IT investments and assets that have been identified and evaluated as government-wide opportunities.
These opportunities are interoperable approaches that can be shared across government, which in return result in aligning federal agencies around common identity and access management practices as well reduce the identity and access management burden for individual agencies.
