DPC represented at conference held in Copenhagen within “Lightest” – “global reliability” project

A conference was held in the capital city of Denmark, Copenhagen, within the framework of the project “Lightest” – “global reliability”, which was launched by Fraunhofer, the largest research organization in Europe specializing in programs and applications.

Azerbaijan was represented at the event, which took place at the Technical University of Denmark, by Director of the Data Processing Center (DPC) of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies Elnar Asadov and Head of the National Certification Services Center Arif Mailov.

The conference highlighted the current status of works to be done within the project, dates for upcoming works and presentations, development of the project.

Also, at the conference, discussions were held on the topics of “Ethical Requirements, Concepts and Evaluations”, “Creation of Trust Scheme for Open Data” and other activity direction issues.

The main expectations of the DPC from participating in the conference is speeding up the construction of an infrastructure for cross-border recognition of electronic signatures, exchange of views on creating more efficient and reliable social services using electronic signatures and studying the current global situation in this area.

The participation of the Azerbaijani delegation in this conference will support digital development in the country and will create conditions for strengthening cooperation and sharing experience with European countries in this direction.

It should be noted that the center cooperates extensively with the specialists from the Lightest project in the implementation of reliable transactions. It should also be noted that Head of the National Certification Services Center Arif Mailov became a member of the Advisory Board of the project in 2018.

The Lightest project creates important solutions for services provided by all public and private enterprises of the European Union and helps to identify false identity cards in electronic transactions.

This solution guarantees the recognition of electronic signatures on the platforms where various applications are being used. It also confirms the reliability of IoT sensors and tools that are being used in the fields of e-procurement, e-justice, e-health and the legal sphere.

The goal of the Lightest project is to create a global cross-domain trust infrastructure that will make it transparent and easy for verifiers to evaluate electronic transactions. Applying to different trust agencies and combining trust aspects related to identification, business, etc., it will be possible to conduct trust-based solutions for the domain.

Close ties, economic integration between EU member states further increases the value of the “Lightest” project.

Note that a meeting of the working group on the project “Lightest” - “global reliability” is planned to be held in Baku in May this year.
