A Web Services-based Secure Platform for Inter-Institutions E-Governance

摘要

For providing e-governance services based on digital identity, institutions may need data each from others to construct a full or a part of a needed digital identity. For that, offering separated web services for satisfying institution and/or citizen requests is not sufficient. This leads to think about platform that ensures systematic collaboration between institutions in order to offer emergent e-governance services. This paper proposes a secure platform based on composing web services for offering inter-institutions e-governance services. For evaluating the proposed platform a preliminary framework is developed. The presented case study illustrates the use and the functions of the platform.
