The Technical Aspect of the Slovene eGovernment Solution: Information and Communication Infrastructure as a Precondition for a Successful eGovernment Marko Ambrož, Ministry of Public Administration, Slovenia

Part one:  Common host infrastructure  Common government network  PKI services Part two:  Interoperability issues  Reference registers  Application architecture framework  Future developments Information and Communication Infrastructure as a Precondition for a Successful eGovernment

Common host infrastructure – 5 dedicated environments 1)IBM Mainframe for Transaction oriented applications (with relational database and J2EE app. server) 2)eGovernment server infrastructure – Linux/Solaris based systems with relational databases and J2EE app. Servers 3)CMS for government web sites (Typo3 cluster) 4)LAMP cluster for diverse web sites 5)Linux clusters for HUB and Lotus Notes backbone All together 3 x 430 Amps.

Common government network - HKOM Government intranet:  800 Locations  1600 LAN’s  Users/workstations 1 Gbit/s connection to internet  50 Mbit/s -> traffic to internet  150 Mbit/s <- traffic from internet  0,8 Gbyte/s Input/Output traffic to backbone

Common government network HKOM and EU networks Network H K O M Network U32Mail/E X T R A N E T EU-Portal U32Mail - in Slovenia EU documents are available over dedicated EU-Portal application  EXTRANET is under the jurisdiction of the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union  EXTRANET has been established for interchanging documents in electronic form (sent from the GSC EU to the EU member states)

PKI services SIGEN-CASIGEN-CA issues qualified digital certificates for citizens and for legal and natural persons, registered for performing activities. SIGOV-CASIGOV-CA issues qualified digital certificates for employees and servers of public administration institutions. SI-TSASI-TSA issues trusted time stamps for applications of public administration institutions.

Interoperability issues: Organizational:  Simple and clear concepts  Small working group  Same group made all integrations Technological:  Architecture built in hosting infrastructure  Two technological environments (J2EE and Lotus Domino)  Stable and consistent services
