Abstract
Accelerating and harmonizing the diffusion and acceptance of electronic services in Europe in a secure and practical way has become a priority of several initiatives in the past few years and a critical factor for citizen and business information society services. As identification and authentication is a critical element in accessing public services the combination of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and smartcards emerges as the solution of choice for eGovernment in Europe. National governments and private initiatives alike vouch their support for this powerful combination to deliver an essential layer of reliable electronic services and address identity requirements in a broad range of application areas. A recent study suggests that several eGovernment implementations point to the direction of electronic citizen identity management as an up and coming challenge.
