Abstract

This paper mainly depicts the conceptual overview of vertical integration, semantic interoperability architecture such as Educational Sector Architectural Framework (ESAF) for New Zealand government and different interoperability framework solution for digital government. In this paper, we try to develop a secure information sharing approach for digital government to improve home land security. This approach is a role and cooperation based approach for security personnel of different government departments. In order to run any successful digital government of any country in the world, it is necessary to interact with their citizen and to share secure information via different network among the citizen or other government. Consequently, in order to smooth the progress of users to cooperate with and share information without darkness and flawlessly transversely different networks and databases universally, a safe and trusted information-sharing environment has been renowned as a very important requirement and to press forward homeland security endeavor. The key incentive following this research is to put up a secure and trusted information-sharing approach for government departments. This paper presents a proficient function and teamwork based information sharing approach for safe exchange of hush-hush and privileged information amid security personnels and government departments inside the national boundaries by means of public key cryptography. The expanded approach makes use of cryptographic hash function; public key cryptosystem and a unique and complex mapping function for securely swapping over secret information. Moreover, the projected approach facilitates privacy preserving information sharing with probable restrictions based on the rank of the security personnels. The projected function and collaboration based information sharing approach ensures protected and updated information sharing between security personnels and government intelligence departments to keep away from frightening activities. The investigational results exhibit the usefulness of the proposed information sharing approach. In a nutshell, this proposed security approach will work in together intraorganizational and inter-organizational department such as among security personnel and government intelligence department and this will make possible vertical information integration over and above it will progress interoperability approach for several recent digital government.

Abstract

Improved interoperability between public and private organizations is of key significance to make digital government newest triumphant. Digital Government interoperability, information sharing protocol and security are measured the key issue for achieving a refined stage of digital government. Flawless interoperability is essential to share the information between diverse and merely dispersed organisations in several network environments by using computer based tools. Digital government must ensure security for its information systems, including computers and networks for providing better service to the citizens. Governments around the world are increasingly revolving to information sharing and integration for solving problems in programs and policy areas. Evils of global worry such as syndrome discovery and manage, terror campaign, immigration and border control, prohibited drug trafficking, and more demand information sharing, harmonization and cooperation amid government agencies within a country and across national borders. A number of daunting challenges survive to the progress of an efficient information sharing protocol. A secure and trusted information-sharing protocol is required to enable users to interact and share information easily and perfectly across many diverse networks and databases globally. This article presents (1) literature review of digital government security and interoperability and, (2) key research issue trust based information sharing protocol for seamless interoperability among diverse government organizations or agencies around the world. While trust-based information access is well studied in the literature, presented secure information sharing technologies and protocols cannot offer enough incentives for government agencies to share information amid them without harming their own national interest. To overcome the drawbacks of the exiting technology, an innovative and proficient trust-based security protocol is proposed in this article for sharing of top secret information amid government intelligence agencies globally. The trust protocol intended assures the enhanced interoperability of any modern digital government by sharing secure and updated information among government intelligence agencies to avoid any threatening deeds.
