EEU steps up work on development of cross-border trust space- EEC minister

YEREVAN, May 12. /ARKA/. The goal of building cross-border trust space across the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) EU is to put the trusted third party service into commercial operation this year, Varos Simonyan, a Eurasian Economic Commission (executive arm of EEU) Minister for Internal Markets, Information and Communication Technologies said in an interview with sb.by.

According to him, cross border trust space is necessary for implementation of legally relevant interstate electronic document management and development of information exchange in the EEU.

The minister said the EEC has developed draft rules for the recognition of digital electronic signatures in electronic documents and ensuring the validity of electronic documents in cross-border information interaction of legal entities with state authorities of EEU member states.

He said also that using a trusted third party service will serve as a universal mechanism for the provision of interstate services in electronic form.

Simonyan also noted that special attention is given to data protection in cross-border information exchange in the current geopolitical conditions.

He said the EEC is actively working with the countries to create a secure data transmission network and joint development of specialized cryptographic information protection tools. -0-
