Security and Intelligence Service of the Republic of Moldova is a body responsible for the development and promotion of national policy and for the control in all types of electronic signature application, in accordance with Law no. 91 of 29.05.2014 on electronic signature and electronic document. Therefore, the institution informs that it has carried out the accreditation of the certification service provider within the "Information Technology and Cyber Security Service”, in the field of application of the qualified advanced electronic signature. As a result, it successfully completed the certification of the public key.
Note that the certification of the public key of the provider was performed using a modern technical and software complex, which allowed the use of more secure cryptographic algorithms, and as a result, lower level providers will be able to issue electronic signatures to the public with an extended term of validity.
At the same time, SIS specifies that the electronic signatures with the extended validity term fall within the normative framework in force and will be available for the beneficiaries in the terms and conditions established by the certification service provider within the "Information Technology and Cyber Security Service".
The Security and Intelligence Service of the Republic of Moldova will continue to take the necessary actions to promote and facilitate electronic certification services, to implement more secure cryptographic algorithms, but also to expand the list of reliable electronic services.
