A governmental electronic authentication and control service, called MPass, was instituted as a component of the common technological platform of the executive, IPN reports.

Under a draft Government decision, the new service will represent a common secured and flexible instrument for authorizing users to get into computer systems and access public electronic services.

The MPass service will also make the activity of public institutions providing electronic services more efficient as they will use the common electronic authentication and identification platform without creating the own infrastructure that is costly and needs time for being created.

The Government also approved the plan of action for implementing the strategic technological modernization program for 2014. Among the main measures are the launch of the Digital Agricultural Register and of the Information Monitoring System, creation of the information system for registering transactions with realty, creation of the information system for submitting and monitoring online property and interest statements, and the launch of the Register of Inspections carried out by inspection institutions.

In the education sector, conditions will be created for applying online for universities and developing the information authentication system, legalizing and recognizing education certificates. The process of digitizing the archives of civil status documents will be continued in 2014. There will be launched the digitization of cadastral documents.
