4 E-Government Transformation Areas Internal External Relational Hirst and Norton, 1998 E-Services e-services can be defined as functionality that is made available over the Internet. For example, e-commerce transaction services for handling online orders, automatic bill payment services by banks, and application and document hosting by online service providers. Thus, e-services refer to any processing capability that is available online to a consumer. Trust World Bank defines trust as the use by government agencies of information technologies (such as Wide Area Networks the Internet, and mobile computing) that have ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. (World Bank Group, 2007) 4
5 E-Services & Trust Trustis The quantified belief by a trustorwith respect to the competence, honesty, security and dependability of a trustee within a specified context. Distrustis defined as: The quantified belief by a trustorthat a trusteeis incompetent, dishonest, not secure or not dependable within a specified context. Grandison and Sloman(2003) E-Services & Trust Government needs to build trust to drive use of e-services, say IT heads Justin Richards Tuesday 12 December
6 E-Services & Trust A lack of trust is hampering take-up of online government services, according to a recent BCS Thought Leadership Debate. This is partially a result of several highprofile e-government failures and because of a general lack of confidence in government Trust in egovernment Trustrequires verifiable identity we need to be sure who we are dealing with. Therefore Trustenables Security Security enables Trust the requirements of each must be met. Trustlevels are tied to acceptable risk levels for some services it is not necessary to implement highest security cost and risk must be balanced. Trusthierarchies such as Public Key Infrastructures require investment and constant policing, while direct methods such as biometrics are more invasive invasiveness, investment and risk must be balanced. Even eidcards can be misused and so verification in critical applications should combine card possession with declaration of hard-to-copy information held by the person (e.g. knowledge not encoded on the card), or with data intrinsically tied to the person (e.g. biometrics). Partnerships with existing trustrelationship manager (e.g. banks) can provide additional verification channels for public authorities. A clear pact is required between citizens and governments concerning the usage of citizen data so that there is a clear basis for citizen trust and a willingness to adopt electronic trust mechanisms.
