FASTeTEN to feature at eChallenges 2008

e-Forum director Baudouin de Sonis will present FASTeTEN at one of Europe’s leading eGovernment conferences in October 2008. The eChallenges conference takes place in the Swedish capital of Stockholm from October 22-24. The conference’s aim is to stimulate rapid take-up of research and technology development results by industry and in particular small and medium sized companies, and to help open up the European Research Area (ERA) to the rest of the world.

The FASTeTEN presentation will be given as part of one of the event’s parallel sessions. The FASTeTEN project will deploy a bundle of services for secure electronic document exchange across Europe. The bundle of services, FAST - Fournisseur d’Accès Sécurisés Transactionnels (Secure Access Gateway) - has been successfully developed and piloted in France. FASTeTEN will demonstrate FAST in different eGovernment contexts in Spain and the United Kingdom. A group of potential future deployers will monitor the demonstration deployments with a view to further implementations of FAST across Europe.

The presentation of FASTeTEN at the conference will outline how the project contributes to the European Commission’s defined eGovernment objectives for Europe: providing tools that can be used flexibly and interoperably by European administrations, for the benefit of businesses, citizens, and the administrations themselves.

Although the FASTeTEN project is not yet completed it has already contributed an important case study concerning eGovernment good practice exchange, specifically in the field of secure infrastructures, authentication, and identity management. FASTeTEN has been deployed in a pilot deployment in Valencia according to a standard methodology defined by the project. A second pilot deployment, in Sheffield, England, is pending. In working on these pilot deployments, the project has provided a methodology for adaptation of electronic services to different eGovernment contexts, and for the multiplication of the impact this methodology through a potential deployers’ group, and significant lessons concerning the details of a secure infrastructure deployment involving the adaptation to a new administrative context of a bundle of services that was developed for a particular administrative context.
