The justice infrastructure provides the ERV with the necessary basic services in accordance with its high IT security and legal compliance requirements. In the following, we look at the main objectives and technical implementation concepts.
The infrastructure of the justice system primarily ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the ERV. To achieve the objectives, the focus is on the following basic functions:
- Holistic, centralized registration and management concept for digital entities including key management
- Secure authentication of all ERV participants
- Integrative communication via so-called “secure transmission paths” (OSCI-based message exchange and end-to-end encryption)
- Consistent trust between multiple identity providers using TrustedDomains and SingleSignOn mechanisms
- Secure connection of special electronic mailboxes (EGVP, beN, beA) and central register modules
Key infrastructure components of judicial communication
S.A.F.E.(Secure Accessto FederatedE-Justice/E-Government) was designed and developed as the technical implementation of a digital, federated identity management and directory service. All applications in the areas of e-Justice and e-Government use SAFE, and the simple connection of SAFE instances forms the basis for optimum scalability.
In addition to the development of beN and beA, Westernacher Solutions is also significantly involved in the further development of SAFE.
