Title: E-Government and Data Protection in the Public Sector
Abstract: Legal and regulatory requirements and client expectations regarding management and retention of personal, financial, and other business information are greater than ever. As sensitive data is increasingly shared within organizations and across organizational boundaries, it requires persistent protection from interception and viewing by unauthorized parties. Data encryption technologies are one means of achieving this protection. In addition, organizations must ensure that their document management systems and practices can safeguard personal information contained in documents throughout their life cycle. The Internet and computer networking means that there is a need for new security measures and policies to reduce the threats and challenges inherent from these new technologies and software applications and network devices. The security aspects of public sector information systems are important as the respective systems are often part of critical infrastructures or deal with personal or sensitive data.
