A proposed eGovernment Architecture based on Open Source components in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Electronic Government (eGovernment) uses information and communication technologies to provide public services to citizens and bussines in an effective way. Electronic Government also involves changes in organisation and processes, so that public services could be provided more efficiently. In this paper a complete eGovernment system architecture solution for providing eGoverment services in Federation of BiH (FBiH) will be described. According to current eGovernment standards and recommendations, this architecture will be based primarily on the use of Open Source components. Proposed architecture will involve interoperability and data exchange standards for public administration in FBiH, One-Stop eGovernment portal (unique web-based access point) for user access to available services, and PKI infrastructure for authentication purposes.
