The Federal Public Key Infrastructure Management Authority (FPKIMA) provides trust infrastructure services to federal agencies. FPKIMA is governed under the Federal PKI Policy Authority (FPKIPA) and managed by GSA.
Activities
- Manage digital certificate policies and standards to ensure secure physical and logical access, document sharing, and communications across federal agencies and between external business partners.
