Explanation

Cross-certification is a major component of the federated identity management (FIM) implementation model and is used to establish a network between dozens of organizations. Cross-certification allows two different organizations to establish mutual trust by exchanging and validating each other's digital certificates. This mutual trust enables users in one organization to access resources in another organization without the need for separate user accounts or authentication processes.
