To date, Ukraine has created and legally enshrined the possibility of secure electronic document circulation using a legally significant electronic digital signature (EDS). This was reported by Kostiantyn Boiko, Director of the Department of Special Telecommunication Systems and Information Protection of the Security Service of Ukraine, in his report at the opening of the Third International Scientific and Practical Conference "Security of Modern Information and Telecommunication Systems." According to Boiko, "much has been done in our country for the practical implementation of EDS." "Today in Ukraine, a central certifying authority has been created and is functioning, three key certification centers have successfully passed the voluntary accreditation procedure in accordance with legislation, and a number of regulatory documents have been developed to support EDS procedures," he noted. As Boiko reported, today the submission of reports in electronic form by financial monitoring entities to the authorized body on financial monitoring issues is ensured, and other electronic document circulation systems are at the development stage to ensure interaction with state bodies. "For example, with tax and customs authorities when submitting relevant declarations, with the Pension Fund and a number of other bodies," he said. The EDS technology, according to Boiko, "has successfully passed approbation on a state scale during the elections of people's deputies to the Ukrainian parliament." At the same time, despite the already achieved successes in the implementation of EDS in Ukraine, "many issues of full-scale use of EDS in the state require further painstaking work," he noted. First of all, Boiko added, this concerns the mass use of EDS through the intensification of the creation of electronic data exchange systems between state bodies and business entities and individuals. "This task, in our opinion, is a priority for state bodies whose activities are related to large volumes of document circulation within the framework of providing state services," said Boiko. He also noted a number of problems on the path of implementing electronic document circulation using EDS in the state. According to Boiko, "today there is an insufficient level of activity of state bodies in implementing electronic document circulation using EDS mechanisms." "There is practically no interdepartmental coordination of efforts on the implementation of systems of legally significant electronic document circulation of state bodies in the provision of state services," he said. According to Boiko, a low level of interaction between the public sector and interested private organizations is evident, for example, with accredited key certification centers for the effective use of available resources in this area.
