Azerbaijan, Baku, April 3 / Trend H.Valiyev /
The Information Technology Centre (ITC) of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies of Azerbaijan plans to present MicroSD-cards with cryptographic functions, the ITC told Trend on Wednesday. The devices will be based on a platform developed for SMART cards.
"The unique advantage of such innovations that will be available in the next two months is that it will be possible to use cryptography in the e-government portal not only through workstations and laptops, but also mobile platforms," the ITC said.
Currently, the SMART card connected via a special card reader that can read information about the digital signature, serves as an electronic key with iOS platform support. That is a mobile card reader with USB connectors (5pin and 3.5 millimetres).
At present the application to use the mobile digital signature is available at e-imza.az.
The annual cost of mobile authentication certificates totals four manat, the two-year cost is seven manat, and three-years is nine manat.
The official exchange rate on 3 April is 0.7846 AZN / USD
