Trends in the digitalisation of public administrations – in light of EU legislation and domestic developments

Adrián, Fábián (author), Kollár, Gergő (author)

Purpose: Regulating the parameters of all types of identity – including its elements, authenticity and authenticator, verifiability, and the verification process – requires particular attention. The most critical element here is most likely its presence in the digital sphere. Our main goal is to examine the proposal to amend the eIDAS2 Regulation to create a frame-work for a European digital identity. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper analyses the topic in terms of Union law and the most recent strategic document of the Hungarian governmental decisionmaker, incorporating pertinent scientific findings. The article evaluates the current situation, highlighting foreseeable and potential impacts of the new legislative developments. Findings: The paper presents both the practices established by the eIDAS Regulation as a starting point and the current status of digitalisation in Hungary (primarily in public administration). Practical Implications: Eventually, we will attempt to identify the expected opportunities and advantages, as well as risks and drawbacks, associated with the nascent trend of digitalization of public administration in the EU and Hungary.

Abstract

Namen: Ureditev parametrov vseh vrst identitete – vključno z njenimi elementi, avtentičnostjo in avtentikatorjem, preverljivostjo ter postopkom preverjanja – zahteva posebno pozornost. Pri tem je verjetno najbolj kritičen element njena pojavnost v digitalnem prostoru. Glavni cilj prispevka je proučiti predlog za spremembo uredbe eIDAS, ki vzpostavlja okvir za evropsko digitalno identiteto.Zasnova/metodologija/pristop: Tematika je v prispevku obravnavana z vidika prava EU in zadnjega strateškega dokumenta madžarskega vladnega odločevalca, vključene pa so tudi znanstvene ugotovitve z zadevnega področja. V članku je ocenjeno trenutno stanje, obenem pa so izpostavljeni predvidljivi in možni učinki novih zakonodajnih sprememb. Ugotovitve: V članku so predstavljene prakse, ki jih za izhodišče določa uredba eIDAS, in trenutno stanje digitalizacije na Madžarskem (predvsem v javni upravi). Vpliv v praksi: Poleg tega bomo poskušali opredeliti morebitne priložnosti in prednosti ter tveganja in slabosti, povezane z novim trendom digitalizacije javne uprave v EU in na Madžarskem.
