The workshop, held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Information and Communications in HCM City, urged agencies and companies to use digital signatures in e-commerce and e-government.
"One of the solutions to ensure data security in e-transactions is the use of digital signatures," said Tran Huu Linh, deputy head of the Department of E-Commerce and Information and Technology.
"An unsecured network is one of the obstacles hindering the development of e-commerce among enterprises," Linh said.
The e-transaction market will continue its upward trend as e-government begins to be applied and as the number of internet users is predicted to increase to 45-50 million users by 2012. Within the last year, the Ministry of Information and Communications granted public digital-signature authentication licenses to the Viet Nam Post and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), Military Telecom Group (Viettel), BKAV Network Security Company, NacenComm Technologies Joint-Stock Company and FPT Information System Corporation.
A master plan to develop e-commerce for the 2011-15 period approved by the Prime Minister last month targets official recognition from foreign digital-signature authentication organisations by 2015.
