BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb. 12
By Sadraddin Aghjayev - Trend:
The dependence of Azerbaijani e-signature [SIMA] on cloud
technologies increases its resilience to cyberattacks, Azerbaijan's
Deputy Minister of Digital Development and transport Rovshan
Rustamov told Russian media, Trend reports.
According to Rustamov, since the non-personalized signing key
doesn't contain any information, there is no way for criminals to
gain access to personal information during cyberattacks.
'The e-signature infrastructure and activities in this direction
have existed in our country for a long time. To carry out this work
in accordance with a single mechanism and quality, a certification
services center operates at the ministry,' he said.
'The experience gained with the help of the certification
services and e-signature center has allowed us to create a new
platform signature, called SIMA. This project is primarily a
biometric signature. The platform was created based on the
requirements of digital transformation,' the deputy minister noted.
'Thanks to this electronic signature, more efficient and accessible
user service will be possible. This will also help popularize the
digital activities of business entities and develop the digital
economy.'
Rustamov further said that SIMA is based on biometric
authentication, which combines 'public key' and cloud
technologies.
'For example, an identity card scanned by a user using a mobile
application is checked for belonging to this person. The test
operation is performed by identifying the person based on the
application through the camera of the mobile device,' he explained.
'If the information in the identity card belongs to this person,
the user is provided with an e-signature certificate, otherwise in
case, the request is denied.'
'Digitalization makes our life easier, but also creates certain
problems. Today, almost every user is subject to cyberattacks in
one way or another. It's no secret that any cyberattack on a
digital signature can cause serious problems for its owner. From
this point of view, SIMA is of great importance,' concluded
Rustamov.
