As technology continues advancing and the government looks to upgrade, digital signatures within the government and e-commerce markets have been addressed.
Representatives from state agencies attended a seminar in Hanoi yesterday to address the present situation and a plan to boost the application of digital signature technology among state and government’s agencies to enhance e-transaction security.
The seminar, held by the Government’s Secrecy Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications in Hanoi, urged state agencies to use digital signatures in e-government.
According to the Deputy Chief of the Government Secrecy Committee, Nguyen Dang Dao, the government has encouraged the use of digital signatures in all social fields through Decree No. 26/2007/ND-CP which was issued in early 2007. Together with the E-transaction Law in 2006, this decree has fostered a legal environment for e-signatures to develop. Since then, the committee has taken the responsibility to issue many decisions as well as develop plans for the instruction and application of this service.
In his speech about the present situation of using digital signatures in Vietnam, Dao Dinh Kha, director of the National Center for E-signature Certification, says that e-signatures have been applied in many ministries and state departments and the new regulations have opened to many other potential uses.
“However, the e-signature certification service has not been licensed for businesses by authorities in some areas,” he says. “This causes great difficulties for enterprises who want to register for providing this service in Vietnam.”
The director of the IT Center at the Government Office told the seminar that they are starting to disseminate information on e-signatures for all staff at the Government Office. By December this year, these staff members will be provided with e-Token and instructed how to use it.

Last year, the Ministry of Information and Communication granted public digital-signature authentication licenses to the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group, Military Telecom Group, BKAV Network Security Company, NacenComm Technologies Joint-Stock Company and FPT Information System Corporation.
A master plan to develop e-commerce for the 2011-15 period approved by the Prime Minister in September targets official recognition from foreign digital-signature authentication organisations.
