About ECI - Security

Conditions of Use

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) addresses the most commonly held concerns about the security of electronic commerce:

1. Authentication
That the recipient of a message or transaction can be completely confident that the sender is who they say they are.

2. Confidentiality
That the content of the message or transaction cannot be read by anyone other than the recipient.

3. Integrity
That the content of the message or transaction cannot be tampered with while in transit.

4. Non-repudiation
That the sender cannot later deny the message or transaction and its content

In Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology, a unique electronic identity is allocated to an authorised individual within a business entity. This electronic identity is assigned to a digital Certificate.

Complex mathematical algorithms, called authentication and encryption Keys, enable authentication and high level encryption of messages sent over the internet.

These Keys and Certificates will ensure the security of your electronic transactions with the Tax Office.
