BUILDING PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI)

Abstract

Introduction of e-business in government necessitates the framework for secure information handling. This means that all necessary information protection measures must be in place in the e-Government systems, so that the possibility of the information loss, or its unauthorized change/use could be minimized, since in some cases this misuse could have enormous consequences. Because of this, it is necessary to develop solutions and define procedures and measures which will secure information communication and will create the mechanisms for their implementation. One part of the information protection solution is the implementation of Public Key Infrastructure. This paper deals with the Public Key Infrastructure construction methodology, using the example of the PKI construction in the part of the Serbian government administration – its Statistical Office.
