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.
