I Introduction
eGovernment in Estonia got started by developing a functional architecture that includes: - secure data transport backbone X-Road, - distributed information systems functionality and - different hardware and software components like portals, elements of public key infrastructure (PKI), governmental databases and information systems. This is the very basis of hundreds of services that have been created today. The recent success with eGoverment services and the common architecture of eGovernment will be given in our presentation.
