level of security needs to be established so individuals and organisations in Senegal can use
digital services in confidence. To do this, the Government will implement specific security
measures for these services to encourage people to be confident in them. These include:
•
•
•
•
Authentication, validating an individual's or entity's identity
Confidentiality, protecting data so only those authorised can access it
Integrity, providing assurance this data has not been modified or falsified
Nonrepudiation, certifying people have been involved in an action or transaction.
More specifically, the Government will amongst other things develop the integration of a key
management infrastructure (KMI), IPv6 standard and minimum security standards in designing
and deploying government services online and electronic transactions. The Senegalese
Government's activities towards this aim are in line with the relevant initiatives defined by
SN2025 such as government business architecture or systems for paying taxes and customs
duties electronically.
Expected outcomes:
4.3.2.1
Monitoring and minimum cybersecurity requirements are implemented in government services
online and electronic transactions, which organisations and people in Senegal and from
abroad use fully confidently.
Actions:
4.3.2.1
Encourage the use of KMI security functions, particularly confidentiality, authentication and
integrity to create reliable, secure environments for government services online and electronic
transactions.
4.3.2.2
Migrate from IPv4 protocol to IPv6.
4.3.2.3
Ensure minimum security requirements are paramount in developing government services
online and electronic transactions so people trust in digital.
4.3.3
Specific aim 3.3: promote the use of government services online and electronic
transactions
The Government fully recognises the importance of developing knowledge of and explaining
the aspects of the security of these services in increasing confidence. With this in mind, the
Government will focus on spreading information about the security of these services so people
and organisations can choose and make informed decisions about using these services. To
understand the concerns of people and organisations in Senegal and respond to them, the
Government will set up reliable points of contact which will gather details of users' concerns
and decide whether the security aspects of those services meet them. The Government will
also ensure that these security facilities are presented to those who use these services in a
format and in the language of their choice. In summary, the Government will encourage users,
organisations and the government to communicate effectively to maintain confidence in these
services.
