The City of Dordrecht plans to issue a proposal under the European eTEN program. The main subject is "trust and security", but the proposal will run in the eGovernment environment. The eTEN proposal will be about market validation and initial deployment on the subject of Trans-European Advanced Interactive Digital Administration (TEN-AIDA). Overcoming cultural, regional, technical and administrative barriers are the key task for eTEN bidders. The plan is to upscale proven local and regional successes into a larger transeuropean layer, of which other local organisations could benefit later. In TEN-AIDA there is room for successful PKI implementations, but also for administration-citizen and administration-business transaction systems that may generate lessons for PKI. PKI in Europe has to deal with a chicken-egg problem, and TEN-AIDA will help in either hatching a chicken or laying an egg. On 9 June 2004 the eTEN call 2004/1 will close. The project development will be done through the online Webboard, which you can find here. |
