The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) will develop a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) project to support eGovernment development with the help of CrimsonLogic.
When fully implemented, the National Authentication Framework (NAF) will enable users to access government services using a single electronic identity, bringing ease and convenience to citizen transactions with the government.
MIC Authority of IT Application Director General, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Phuc said in an official statement, “Technology plays a key role for Vietnam to become a strong nation in IT and in eGovernment implementation. We are deeply committed to the development of a reliable IT infrastructure as it advances the use of technology in government agencies, which improves productivity and reduces operational costs.”
With a five-year plan to simplify administrative processes through transparent and efficient online services, Vietnam’s move towards eGovernment architecture is expected to save the government up to VND 30 trillion (US$1.5 billion) annually.
Funded by the World Bank with telecommunications company FPT Information Systems as partner, the project is a first step towards laying the foundation for a national security IT infrastructure in the country.
