Business Challenges
|
|
Many government entities are facing a number of formidable challenges which collectively impact the way government officials communicate and conduct business among themselves and their constituents online:
|
 |
The growth of administrative bureaucracy and process complexity, including an increasing number of regulations at all levels of government. |
|
An increase in the frequency and severity of online fraud, such as identity theft, spoofing, phishing, and pharming. |
|
The need to rationalize and justify technology investments and conform to uniform standards across different branches, departments, and agencies. |
|
Many government entities have taken a cautious and deliberate approach in addressing these issues,
hampering their ability to fully benefit from online communications and business processes.

Using a digital certificate for government agency transactions allows individual access to
more information and services that, due to requirements for confidentiality and authentication,
have not been available electronically in the past. Digital certificates also reduce cycle time
and increase the efficiency of transactions by converting from paper-based to electronic processes
and replacing ink with digital signatures.
IdenTrust™ Trust Solutions enable government entities to build online trust relationships more quickly,
easily and cost effectively with public-sector and private-sector entities such as contract service
providers without establishing special, ad hoc arrangements or negotiating with intermediaries.
Government branches, departments and agencies can deploy and rely upon a single, proven Trust
Infrastructure to protect and authenticate the identities of all parties to a given communication
or transaction while satisfying the myriad of ever-changing regulations. By working with IdenTrust,
government entities are able to:
|
|
Adopt a uniform standard for their digital certificate services and other programs that require trusted identities. |
|
Improve operational efficiency by automating and streamlining key online business processes and outsourcing the administration of digital certificate services as needed to a third-party expert. |
|
Earn public trust and confidence by effectively managing and minimizing the risks of online fraud and identity theft. |
