Ce blogue avait pour but de présenter certaines approches techniques possibles pour les signatures électroniques qui sont déjà disponibles. Nous souhaitons avoir un dialogue avec les praticiens et nous espérons que vous communiquerez avec nous ou formulerez des commentaires ici sur le blogue afin d’élargir la discussion et d’accélérer les initiatives du gouvernement numérique.

<sup>1</sup> We expect the need for level 4 e-signatures to be rare (e.g. very high-value transactions) and the reader should consult the e-signature guidance document for additional information.

<sup>2</sup> As a reminder, security always needs to be taken into consideration, especially when dealing with parties external to the Government of Canada who may not have secure means of communication or storage. As mentioned in the e-signature guidance, confidentiality is not addressed by electronic signatures. If using an unsecure means of communication such as email, MS Word or PDF documents with the public, departments should be mindful of relevant, applicable policies. In particular, Appendix B of the Directive on Security Management states that encryption and network safeguards must be used to protect the confidentiality of sensitive data transmitted across public networks, wireless networks or any other network where the data may be at risk of unauthorized access. (B.2.3.6.3). Although sensitive information is not defined in the Directive, the Policy on Government Security defines “sensitive information” as “information or asset that if compromised would reasonably be expected to cause an injury. This includes all information that falls within the exemption or exclusion criteria under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. This also includes controlled goods as well as other information and assets that have regulatory or statutory prohibitions and controls.” As such communication using public email, may not be appropriate in many given circumstances due to security risks.
