E-application system

摘要

The Japanese government will construct an e-application system, which will enable people to make about 10,000 types of applications online, by the year 2003 through the Millennium Project and the e-Japan Priority Policy Program. Reflecting this, local governments in Japan are also being encouraged to construct e-application systems. For e-application systems using the Internet, some issues regarding application procedures need to be considered such as applicant confirmation, fee payment methods, delivery timing, and so on. In particular, based on public key infrastructure (PKI) technology, government PKI (GPKI) and local government PKI (LGPKI) technologies are being prepared as a means of applicant confirmation. Toshiba has been investigating the requirements and preconditions related to e-application systems together with clients since 1999, and has developed an e-application system.
