At present the CIS member countries declared that information and communication technologies (hereinafter referred to as the “ICT”) development will be a priority and a necessary condition for a sustainable economic growth and improvement of the citizens’ standards of life.
In the CIS countries national ICT development programs, aimed at forming the information society foundations, have been adopted and are being implemented.
The information society is characterized by high information and telecommunication technologies level of development; with citizens, business and public bodies using ICT intensively.
The Internet network, enabling an access to large arrays of data and facilitating electronic services provision, is an important element of the information society. A task to provide quality electronic government services to citizens and legal entities is being successfully tackled at the national level in the CIS sates.
The further economic integration by CIS member countries requires to consider an issue of a trans-boundary valid information exchange provision and electronic services provision at the international level.
Already today, Internet provides CIS countries’ population with technological capabilities to receive - on remote access basis - quality business, medical and educational services, being rendered from a number of centers, as a rule, from capitals of the leading countries’, possessing a sufficient number of qualified specialists and state-of-the-art technologies.
Active development of trans-boundary auctions, telemedicine and distant education will facilitate to improve standards of life and accelerate economic growth of CIS member-countries.
A set of unsolved organizational, technological and legal problems concerning legalization of foreign electronic documents is an obstacle to state-of-the-art electronic services implementation. A problem of the trans-boundary trust space (hereinafter referred to as the “TTS”) creation method is among them. The TTS can be created on a single-domain or multi-domain basis depending on using of a single electronic signature cryptographic algorithm or an aggregate of national electronic signature cryptographic algorithms in compliance with domestic legislation in each TTS state.
The main trend accompanying processes of documents and services conversion into an electronic form, comes down to solution of the primary problem – creation of the trust infrastructure, comprising trust services. The latter could be used in automated systems performing various business processes.
Approaches to this problem’s solution were worked out in the framework of the Model of CIS member countries’ trans-boundary trust space forming and functioning in the Internet network (hereinafter referred to as the “TTS Model”) (TTS Model - Explanatory note) approved at the 17-th meeting of CIS member countries’ Coordination council in communication at the RCC (June 2, 2011, Erevan, Republic of Armenia).
The TTS Model contains the description of the TTS conceptual framework, basic units and components, as well as interconnections between them. In the TTS Model the following TTS forming stages are planned:
For the TTS Model performance purposes and as the first step of system designing, the working group of Russian specialists has developed the Methodology of the trans-boundary trust space forming and functioning in the Internet network (hereinafter referred to as the “TTS Methodology”) (TTS Methodology - Explanatory note).
This draft was presented at the 13-th meeting of the Committee on information security under CIS member countries’ Coordination council on communication under RCC held on October 27, 2011, in Moscow, the Russian Federation. The TTS Methodology describes the TTS construction basic principles and approaches. The TTS architecture includes:
The Methodology presents - to the first approximation - the options of the common trust infrastructure services realization and their selection algorithm applicable to the following subject areas:
The TTS Methodology developers hold an active discussion of the approaches, proposed with Russian and foreign experts in law, international trade, secure distributed information systems.
The TTS Methodology materials are foundtions for the further work on the TTS system designing.
