promoting the use and mutual recognition of electronic identity documents; guaranteeing the
protection of the right to identity and facilitating the intra-regional exchange of information.
In addition, the Framework includes aims linked to closure of the digital gap and to equal
access to the knowledge society. In this context, the proposed aims include contributing to
our populations having full access to the information and knowledge society through the
implementation of digital inclusion programs, and closing both internal and external digital
gaps.
Concept of electronic identification
Without prejudice to the designations adopted in national legislation, the Framework adopts
a common definition for the concept of “Social Electronic Identification”. It is understood as
“the process which through external elements allows an identity with certain attributes to be
assigned to a specific person, that is the verification of the information that proves that an
individual is indeed who he claims to be, a legal person, with certain attributes”.
At the same time it defines the concept of “Electronic Authentication” as “the process of
verifying the authenticity of identification carried out or requested by a natural person or
organisation of information such as a message or other means of electronic transmission. The
process of authentication is the second of two stages comprising: 1) The introduction of a
means of accrediting the identification [in the system and 2) the presentation or generation
of information which corroborates the relationship between that means of accreditation
and the person or organisation identified”. The introduction of the concept of “electronic
authentication” is an innovation. Until now, national legislation recognised the concepts of
“identification” and “electronic signature” or “digital signature”. The concept of “electronic
authentication” is common in the vocabulary of technology, but hadn’t yet been introduced
in government or e-commerce regulations. This is the first initiative in that context, and we
believe that it constitutes a major contribution to the Ibero-American Framework of Social
Electronic Identification.
The Framework sets out a series of fundamentals which inspire it, linked to the role of the State,
namely:
1. The identification of individuals, as well as protection of the inviolability of their identities,
as non-transferable obligations of the State.
2. Recognition of the right of every person to an identity, as well as the right to protection of
its integrity and the guarantee of its unfettered exercise.
3. Equal access to the information society as an important public good which must be promoted
by the governments of the region.
4. Recognition of the principles defined in the Ibero-American Charter on Electronic
Government.
Finally, Chapter 1 of the Ibero-American Framework reviews the principles to which it subscribes.
Those principles, recognised by the Ibero-American Charter on Electronic Government of which
the Framework forms part, are as follows:
