Another digital signature provider licensed
The Ministry of Information and Communications on June 22 issued a licence to the Military Telecoms Group (Viettel), making Vietnam's forth provider of digital signature certification service.
Previously, the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), the Nacencomm Technologies Joint Stock Company and the BKAV Network Security Company had been given the go-ahead to provide the new service in the country.
Under its licence, Viettel will be able to offer the new service to agencies, organizations, individuals, websites and other software developers.
Digital signatures will help businesses speed up their e-transactions, said Viettel’s Deputy Director General Tong Viet Trung at the licensing ceremony.
Digital signatures are now used in many developed countries around the world to ensure the safety of public e-transactions.
The FPT Corporation, another giant in Vietnam’s communications sector, is reportedly rolling up its sleeves to provide the service.
