PKI - Public key infrastructure

Ensuring secure exchange of data using digital signatures and more

Welcome to the website of the Agency for Identification Documents, Registers, and Data Exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where we distinguish ourselves through the creative use of public key infrastructure (PKI). This advanced system is a crucial part of our commitment to guaranteeing data security and integrity. It is supported by digital certificates that are issued by a recognised authority called the Certificate Authority (CA). According to the eIDAS Regulation, our PKI solution provides a broader range of applications and the security of digital signatures:

  1. Identity verification through digital certificates: 
  • To verify an individual’s identity, our PKI system uses digital certificates issued by the Certificate Authorities (CAs). This process ensures reliability and authenticity when exchanging data.
  1. Security key management:
  • Through the PKI system, the Agency enables efficient management of private and public key pairs. This functionality is key to providing high security standards and preventing unauthorized access to data.
  1. Digital signatures and encryption for confidentiality:
  • The PKI system enables the use of digital signatures to confirm the authenticity and integrity of documents. Moreover, it provides the possibility of data encryption to ensure the confidentiality of information during the exchange.
  1. Application in the digital tachograph system:
  • Our PKI system is integrated into the digital tachograph system, providing secure and efficient data exchange within this key technological framework. This enables precise monitoring of driving activities and compliance with regulatory standards.
  1. Compliance with the eIDAS Regulation:
  • All processes related to digital signatures in our PKI system comply with the eIDAS Regulation, which means that our digital signatures have legal validity and are recognized internationally.
  1. Transparency and reliability:
  • Transparency in the digital signature process, so as the reliability of our PKI system, are key factors that strengthen users’ trust in our digital services.
  1. Multiple applications:
  • Apart from the need for digital signing, our PKI system has a wide range of uses. It is used for secure data exchange, privacy protection, and ensuring the integrity of information in various applications and sectors.

When it comes to security, confidentiality, and data integrity, the Agency for Identification Documents, Registers, and Data Exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina sets high requirements and chooses to employ the PKI system. Our technological solutions, backed by the PKI system, enable data sharing and digital signature that is both secure and flexible enough to meet the demands of the present technological world.
