French NATIONAL DIGITAL SECURITY STRATEGY — objective 2 trustworthiness associated with the identity. Subject to compliance with the security requirements adapted to the uses and threats, these systems are intended to increase users’ trust in their digital world and contribute to its smooth flow while minimising the risk of unwanted processing of their personal data. For more sensitive use, such as that which concerns democratic life or international exchanges related to the law, high levels of trustworthiness of the systems and services will be systematically enforced. These high levels of trustworthiness will rely on the national industrial make-up and the established security certification scheme. France will protect its citizens’ privacy and personal data. The right to privacy and individual and collective control of personal data will be reaffirmed whenever necessary and notably during commercial negotiations between States, whether bilateral or multilateral. To inform the French people on the use made of their data entrusted to digital services, an identification system adapted and shared with the participating States and consistent with the European work carried out in the framework of the European Regulation related to the protection of personal data will be established during 2016. This identification system will make it possible to view the essential characteristics and conditions of use for digital platforms and services or means of payment used. > Recommending technical solutions aimed at securing digital life and which are accessible to all businesses and the general public. The competent State services will label securing solutions for personal terminals. An identification system that is consistent with the one recommended above will enable users to be informed of the potential transmission of information to third parties in the framework of this protection. Once created, the system for the assistance of victims of cybermalevolent acts mentioned above, as part of its mission of prevention, will advocate these systems to the public concerned. In addition, and since it was possible to initiate this by the future investments programme, the offer of accessible and adapted solutions to secure the digital lives of small and medium-sized enterprises will be supported. Support for the development of French solutions will be provided as well as for the free software communities that develop security solutions. > Reinforcing the operational mechanisms of legal international mutual aid and universalising the principles of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime. The Budapest Convention, which was adopted in 2001 in the framework of the Council of Europe, has become a reference instrument that enables States of the five continents to cooperate in the combat against cybercrime. Ratified by 46 States, including 7 nonmembers of the Council of Europe, this instrument now unites 125 States for one reason or another (signatories, States invited to become members, States receiving technical assistance in view of future membership, States that have adapted their internal law to the model of the Convention). It is now essential to universalise and consolidate the base of norms as well as the tool of cooperation that this text is composed of. In addition, France will advocate the definition of a system of simplified legal cooperation between Member States within the European Union in order to accelerate the transmission of data and put an end to illegal activities. 23
