| The application must be easy to use, and of quick understanding guaranteeing usability and accessibility. The usability of an application is relatedto the interface, the navigability, the positioning of text and objects. The application should offer an interface highly intuitive; information should be displayed in a directly usable format. The users of the application can have different expertise: some user could be less able than others to interact with the application; moreover disabled users could access the application. Moreover the sequence of the task should be linear, the terminology understandable, time to load pages should not be long and users should be able to easily print their information. E-government application must provide continuous feedback to guide the user during the operations.

! Description
 +
| E-government application must guarantee the confidentiality of the information the user provided when a service is requested. Such applications act as an interface for data that is kept in a distributed way. This can occur because of legal restrictions that aim to ensure data privacy. If data is changed, distributed transaction support is needed. Data encryption must be guaranteed for data transfers from the citizen to the public administration, among administrative offices and from a public administration to the citizen. The transfer of this data has to be encrypted to prevent the access of unauthorized persons. Messages can be signed to certify the sender of the message. A citizen can prove that he or she has sent a message through the digital signature. It is possible to prove that the recipient really received the message and that the sender really sent the message. The transmission of a document is logged in a way that it proves that the sender submitted the message and that the receiver received it. Both parties get a confirmation of this.

The originators of messages from citizens to public offices have to be guaranteed.

Description

Usually when a citizen needs some document from the public sector, he has to go to the appropriate department; often the time spent in queues, and the time spent to reach the right office is very long. E-Government is the process to make information technologies available to the government services in order to improve the relationships between citizens and their governments (public sector could be made open and transparent to the citizens). One of the services made available to the user, is the possibility to submit applications to require some service, and receive replies online. At any time during the day, from their locations citizens can access to the offered services and obtain all the needed information without spending any time in queues. In such a way, e-government is able to improve the efficiency of public sector, avoiding the time spent to reach different offices or waiting in queue, resulting in an improvement of the offered services and a better accessibility and transparency of the public services. Not only citizens may be the the users of the government application, but we can image that all the government agencies of a city could share data about the citizens and have the need to access to the services of the application, in order to make available, at any time, all the needed information. The case study is derived from the EU project NEXOF. In particular, it has been proposed by Engineering Ingegneria Informatica and TIS. We have mapped it into the format proposed for S-Cube, retrieving the business goals and the scenarios needed for our description.

UniqueID TIS-BG-5
Short Name Guarantee confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, non-repudiation
Type Business Goals.
Description E-government application must guarantee the confidentiality of the information the user provided when a service is requested. Such applications act as an interface for data that is kept in a distributed way. This can occur because of legal restrictions that aim to ensure data privacy. If data is changed, distributed transaction support is needed. Data encryption must be guaranteed for data transfers from the citizen to the public administration, among administrative offices and from a public administration to the citizen. The transfer of this data has to be encrypted to prevent the access of unauthorized persons. Messages can be signed to certify the sender of the message. A citizen can prove that he or she has sent a message through the digital signature. It is possible to prove that the recipient really received the message and that the sender really sent the message. The transmission of a document is logged in a way that it proves that the sender submitted the message and that the receiver received it. Both parties get a confirmation of this.
Rationale E-government applications frequently have to access, receive, or store data that contains personally identifiable information such as healthcare records, criminal justice investigations and proceedings, residence and geographic records, ethnicity, and so on. The originators of messages from citizens to public offices have to be guaranteed.
