ERR - The digital timestamp company GuardTime has scored another big potential contract, this time at home.
The Economic Affairs Ministry signed a memorandum of cooperation with the company for investigating ways of using the digital timestamps in the e-state, or online government services. The National Archive is currently expected to become the first to implement the GuardTime technology.
"Estonia's ambition is to be one of the most secure e-states in the world and GuardTime offers alternatives that are to be reckoned with in implementing Estonian public sector security solutions,“ said Economic Affairs Minister Juhan Parts. "GuardTime technology can be used to securely sign documents more easily than in the past and counterfeiting of documents and modifications unbeknownst to the owner becomes impossible."
