The creation of keys and issuance of digital signature certificates for Root CA under the name of the Ministry of Science and Technology is carried out to standardize identification information after the Ministry of Information and Communications merged and took the common name of the Ministry of Science and Technology, ensuring the legitimacy and legality of the organization providing national electronic certification services, as well as maintaining a high level of trust for systems using digital signatures in the operations of State agencies, businesses and people.
At the same time, in response to the new legal framework on trusted services, the national Root CA has self-issued 4 digital signature certificates for 4 services including: Digital signature certificate for digital signature authentication service according to the USB TOKEN model; Digital signature certificate for digital signature authentication service according to the remote digital signature model; Digital signature certificate for digital signature authentication service according to the digital signature model on mobile devices; Digital signature certificate for timestamp service.
The Root CA system uses an advanced technology platform that meets international and domestic standards on public key infrastructure: International standard solution and maximum security.
Speaking at the ceremony, the representative of the National Electronic Authentication Center (NEAC) affirmed that this is a key step to perfect the trust infrastructure and ensure legal compliance in the new context and committed to operating the system safely, stably, continuously and absolutely transparently to accompany ministries, branches, localities, businesses and people in implementing electronic transactions and national digital transformation. “With the role of 'national root of trust', NEAC determined that the creation of a new root digital signature certificate for the Root CA system is not simply a technical update under the new name of the Ministry, but also a mission to strengthen the foundation of trust for Vietnam's digital infrastructure", the representative of the National Electronic Authentication Center emphasized.
According to NEAC, the use of the new original digital signature certificate does not disrupt current services. The old original digital signature certificate remains valid and the digital signature certificates of public digital signature service providers issued by the old original digital signature certificate will continue to be used and maintained until their expiration, ensuring that the digital signature certificate chains issued to State agencies, organizations, businesses and people operate normally. Based on the new original digital signature certificate, NEAC will gradually issue digital signature certificates to trusted service providers to provide services.
