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. 17
