MTOP Pioneer in Using Electronic Files with ID Cards Summary
Summary:
The Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP for its Spanish acronym) is the first state agency to use the electronic identity card to sign files, thus becoming the first Ministry to implement it at all levels of its administrative structure.
Information:
The electronic identity is a platform though which the public sector identifies, authenticates and signs electronically, using concerted keys that can be used by all public agencies.
The electronic identity ensures the identity of the individual in the digital world and, in this case, there are new guarantees such as the permanent saving of documents and the impossibility of forgery. Nevertheless, the most significant advantage is that the physical presence of individuals is not required for them to interact virtually.
This improvement also includes new value-added services for citizens, such as performing procedures online. Even though the electronic ID card was implemented in May 2015, thanks to the commitment of AGESIC, our country is currently establishing a legal and security framework and has the required technology to reach the electronic ID with digital signature.
Citizens will easily access the benefits of e-government, significantly reducing administrative time and providing greater security in electronic transactions. Therefore, the identity of interlocutors in telematic communications will be assured, either for exchange of information, access to data or actions via Internet.
This way, STATUM continues to make progress in online procedures and in improving public sector activities; online procedures are expected to be fully operational in 2016, as part of the e-Government project developed by AGESC.
