One Possible Model of Secure e/m-Government System

Abstract

In this article, we describe a possible model of secure e/m-government system based on secure JAVA mobile application and SOA-Based e/m-government platform. The proposed model consists of additional external entities/servers, such as: PKI, XKMS, STS, UDDI and Time Stamping Authority. The main parts of the proposed model are secure JAVA mobile application and secure Web Service implemented on the SOA-based platform capable to connect mobile and desktop applications. One example of the mobile government online services is particularly emphasized: sending m-residence certificate request and obtaining the m-residence electronic document (m-residence certificate) as a municipality's response.
