La Posta Elettronica Certificata - Italian Certified Electronic Mail
Abstract
Since 1997, the Italian laws have recognized electronic delivery
systems as legally usable. In 2005, after two years of technical
tests, the characteristics of an official electronic delivery
service, named certified electronic mail (in Italian "Posta
Elettronica Certificata") were defined, giving the system legal
standing.
The design of the entire system was carried out by the National
Center for Informatics in the Public Administration of Italy
(DigitPA), followed by efforts for the implementation and testing of
the service. The DigitPA has given the Italian National Research
Council (CNR), and in particular the Institute of Information Science
and Technologies at the CNR (ISTI), the task of running tests on
providers of the service to guarantee the correct implementation and
interoperability. This document describes the certified email system
adopted in Italy. It represents the system as it is at the moment of
writing, following the technical regulations that were written based
upon the Italian Law DPR. November 2, 2005.
