Quo Vadis e-Government? - A Trap between Unsuitable Technologies and Deployment Strategies

摘要

In Germany, eGovemment stagnates more than it progresses towards the electronic era of administrations. Lacking deployment strategies and acceptance problems concerning Smart Cards hinder its progress, resulting in a great gap between the targets and the actual state of eGovernment. This article describes a method for the stepwise introduction of electronic signatures placed on Smart Cards in public administrations and gives an approach for the deployment of eGovernment.
