Governments are central to the digital transformation of identity verification through Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). PKI supports digital signatures and secure online operations, crucial for global business systems and cross-border interactions.
Governments are implementing digital regulations and frameworks to ensure the integrity of online transactions and support global interoperability. In Africa, recent efforts focus on creating a unified digital identity system and cloud services market, while international regulations like the EU’s eIDAS set standards for secure digital signatures. These initiatives underscore the government’s role in advancing a secure and interoperable digital economy.
