Data boxes serve as a secure repository of official electronic communications with the public authorities. The new portal provides in one place comprehensive information on and the services on the information system of data boxes (ISDS). In addition, the portal provides users with several secure ways to login, and also makes available interactive electronic forms.
These changes are expected to significantly streamline the communication of citizens with the state. The Ministry of the Interior, as the administrator, and Czech Post as the operator of the system, have introduced these changes as part of the ongoing improvement of ISDS, which since its launch in November 2009 has conveyed over 46 million messages without major issues.
There are now new options to log in to the mailbox data. One option is to login via a one-time password sent in the form of a text message, the method used, for example, in Internet banking. Another option is to keep the one-time password to set up mobile applications, without having to connect to the data network for mobile operators.
Both ways involve a login via username and password, and due to their high level of security they offer users additional options on the data box to add an additional lock. Of course, it still remains possible to use the "classic" login via name and password or certificate.
Since the portal provides a secure and guaranteed environment for electronic filing, the user does not have to comply with any further technical or administrative requirements. The aim is to create a place where citizens can find a list of authorised interactive forms from which data can be conveyed through the data boxes via a simple despatch.
However, the different public authorities themselves decide when and what form is to be provided to the public. The Ministry of the Interior is therefore engaging the individual authorities in discussions in order to provide these forms through the data box system. The provision of these forms will make things easier for citizens as well as the authorities. Citizens will benefit not only because there will be a single place to find the most frequently used forms, but also because of the certainty that the forms are genuine and will reach the correct recipient.
The portal also enables public authorities to publish their news. This section will be divided into regional journals, and the newsletters of ministries and other central authorities.
