The National Electronic Authentication Centre (NEAC) under the Ministry of Information and Communications recently signed a cooperation agreement with the Korea Information Certificate Authority Incorporated (KICA).

Under the agreement, KICA will offer insight into the implementation of legal documents using digital signatures, which can be referenced in the process of researching and developing state management documents on digital signatures.

The two sides will also cooperate and study the possibility of developing new services in the field of digital signatures to promote e-government and e-commerce transactions in Viet Nam to report to the Ministry of Information and Communications.

NEAC and KICA will exchange and share experiences to enhance NEAC’s capacity in building technical systems policies while improving Viet Nam’s technical infrastructure operation and management capability of Root Digital Certificate Authentication (RootCA).

The two sides will also discuss South Korean experiences in the implementation of electronic authentication services in order to apply best practices in Viet Nam. — VNS
