Electronic the Secure Municipal Administration for European Citizens

Objetivo

Municipalities are the eGovernment organizations with which citizens interact most frequently in order to request/process certificates, pay city taxes and receive city information. Citizens need to trust their local municipalities and the municipalities are obliged to provide confidence to their citizens that they fulfil their mission in an effective way.

Public documents and services impose all security requirements i.e. confidentiality, authentication of data and user, integrity, non repudiation. The replacement of the traditional signature with the digital signature imposes problems when applied cross-border or by a group of citizens with limited IT training and security exposure. The adoption of e/m-services by medium and small size public organisations is difficult, as it requires expertise in technical, organizational as well as legal, political and financial support. Municipalities therefore, have difficulties in making the next step in offering services to the European citizens throughout the European continent.

With this proposal we aim to contribute towards the provision of secure and interoperable eGovernment services, by developing an affordable, ease-of use- electronic platform (eMayor platform) hosting secure municipal Web Services. In order for the eMayor platform to be successfully deployed across Europe, on one hand, it will be a simple open solution based on widely accepted standards with good market support. On the other hand, the platform will be Internet based and will enable communication with legacy as well as newly developed systems residing on heterogeneous platforms. Web Services and XML address both sets of requirements and therefore these technologies will form the core for the R&D effort and implementation. eMayor will highly consider the barriers imposed by small and medium sized public organisations and it will meet their needs. The project will put a great effort in making eMayor platform a standard for such organisations.
