Abstract

Transaction services that enable the on-line acquisition of information, the submission of forms and tele-voting, are currently perceived as the future of E-Government. The deployment of these services requires platform independent access and communications security as a basis. This paper presents the methodology, network infrastructure and software kernel, which are used to achieve these objectives in the context of the EURO-CITI project. Well-known and established technologies such as SSL/TLS and IPsec are used. The internal design of the EURO-CITI Security Manager (ESM) kernel is discussed. This kernel is an advanced software platform, residing within EURO-CITI hosts. ESM supports the transaction services discussed in this paper but also takes provision for future services in the E-Government domain
