Abstract
This study describes and compares the use of Electronic Signature, Certificate Authorities, Public Key Infrastructure and Government to Citizen (G2C) and Citizen to Government (C2G) services in three European countries: Finland, the Czech Republic and the Republic of Croatia. These countries have built their own Information Society Infrastructure where public IT security issues were mostly based on Public Key Infrastructure. The Legislation is regularly coordinated with the one of the European Union and it very slightly differs between the countries. G2C and C2G services are under construction.
