ICT Security & Authentication
- Title: National e-Authentication Framework
Date: December 2008
Australian businesses conduct a wide range of transactions with Australian Government agencies using various delivery channels including the internet. To manage some of the risks associated with online transactions, the Australian Government has developed the National e-Authentication Framework (NeAF). The NeAF encompasses the electronic authentication (e‑authentication) of the identity of individuals and businesses dealing with the government, on one side of the transaction, as well as the authentication of government websites on the other side. The Framework supports both agency-specific models where each agency develops its own, separate, technology solution, as well as recognising and accommodating broader sectoral and whole of government e‑authentication initiatives. - Title: Security Considerations for the Use of Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs)
