PKI and digital trust solutions in Italy
PKI, digital trust and electronic signatures in Italy
Italy’s digital trust initiatives began all the way back in the 1990s, when the country began adopting digital technology for business and government purposes. With the introduction of the Electronic Signature Act of 1997 and the Digital Administration Act of 2003, the country further strengthened its legal framework for digital trust.
Digital trust technology allows the country’s government and businesses to securely conduct electronic transactions, protect sensitive data, and enhance operational efficiency.
