| Abstract: | The European Union has launched a comprehensive strategy framework and emerging actions on security and privacy issues. To this direction, a number of relevant initiatives have been put on (e.g. cyber security task force, awareness campaigns, promotion of good practices, improved exchange of information mechanisms, etc.). Their results will provide the basis for the work towards a secure information infrastructure. The key actions proposed for a secure information infrastructure, under the eEurope-2005 umbrella, include, between others, “Secure Communication between Public Services”, e.g. examination of the possibilities to establish a secure communications environment for the ex-change of government information. An important aspect towards this direction is the deployment of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). In this paper a good-practice guidance is described, on how a secure and efficient PKI can be developed to support secure and efficient Government-to-Government and Government-to-Citizen electronic communication. |
