Abstract

A digital government can be viewed as an amalgam of heterogeneous information systems that exchange high-volume information among government agencies and public and private sectors engaged in government business. This gives rise to several daunting multidomain security challenges as well as concern for citizen privacy. The success of a digital government infrastructure depends on how well it meets these challenges and its preparedness against numerous potential threats ranging from simple act of hacking to cyber-terrorism. In this chapter, we outline these crucial security and privacy issues and present various solutions that are available and need to be further investigated.
