CGETs

CGETs, or Certificate of Government-Issued Electronic Transactions, are digital documents that authenticate the origin and integrity of electronic transactions conducted with government entities. These certificates serve as a secure method to verify that a digital document or communication originates from a specific government authority and has not been tampered with since its creation. The system is designed to enhance trust and security in e-government services.

The implementation of CGETs typically involves the use of public key infrastructure (PKI). In this model, government agencies are issued digital certificates by a trusted certification authority. These certificates contain the agency's public key, which can be used by individuals or other entities to verify the digital signature attached to a transaction. The digital signature is created using the agency's private key, ensuring its authenticity and non-repudiation.

CGETs are crucial for a wide range of online government interactions. This includes the issuance of digital permits, licenses, certificates, and official notifications. By relying on CGETs, citizens and businesses can be assured of the legitimacy of electronic documents received from the government, reducing the risk of fraud and improving the efficiency of digital service delivery. The framework aims to align with international standards for electronic signatures and digital certificates.
