Abstract

Information management and retrieval of all the citizen occurs in almost all the public service functions. Electronic Government system is an emerging trend in India through which efforts are made to strive maximum safety and security. Various solutions for this have been proposed like Shibboleth, Public Key Infrastructure, Smart Cards and Light Weight Directory Access Protocols. Still, none of these guarantee 100 percent security. Efforts are being made to provide common national identity solution to various diverse Government identity cards. In this paper, we discuss issues related to these solutions.
