Oman National PKI provided excellent solutions to the complicated challenges that eGovernments always face; physical existence for identification (KYC) and signing documents. Oman National PKI is a security architecture that augmented the eGovernment (eOman) with trust services and increased the level of confidence to use the electronic services. PKI provided a secure authentication (multi-factor) mechanism, legal-binding electronic signature, and electronic stamp. It enabled Oman government to identify and authenticate their clients electronically and securely without using user names and passwords but using the digital identity (Oman National eID). It also enabled electronic signature for documents and online transactions with non-repudiation feature. The eID and Digital Signature are provided in three Medias; the National ID Card, the mobile phones (using PKI enabled SIM card) and the corporate tokens. The PKI in the ID card and mobile phone are provided for the public (citizens and residents) and the PKI token is provided for the official employees to authenticate to the internal systems, sign official documents and encrypt data. Oman became a worldwide success story, with huge utilization of PKI services with 77 electronic systems integrated to the national PKI. Those systems have performed 24 million successful electronic transactions since July 2013.
