Secure JAVA application in SOA-based cross-border PKI mobile government systems

In this article, we describe a possible model of secure cross-border m-government system based on secure JAVA mobile application and SOA-based m-government platform. The proposed model consists of additional external entities/servers, such as: PKI, XKMS, STS, UDDI and TSA. The main parts of the proposed model are secure JAVA mobile application and secure Web Service implemented on the SOA-based platform. One example of the possible mobile government online services is particularly emphasized: sending m-residence certificate request and obtaining m-residence electronic document (m-residence certificate) as a government's response. This scenario could serve as a model of any m-government online services consisting of sending some requests to the m-government platforms and obtaining responses as corresponding governmental electronic messages or documents. These scenarios are considered both in local and cross-border case.
