Abstract Description

Government Gateway

Potentially all aspects of electronic access to Central, Regional and Local Government for citizens and businesses

A2B or A2C

The Government Gateway allows secure authenticated transactions and joined-up government services to take place via the web. The Government Gateway is an authentication and routing engine built on open standards, allowing different systems in different government departments to communicate with the Government Gateway and with each other. This means that in the future, electronic transactions involving many different departments at once will be possible, ensuring a truly joined-up electronic public service. Over time it is anticipated that the Government Gateway will handle a substantial part of the estimated 5-6 billion of annual government-related transactions. As part of the UK's Critical National Infrastructure, the Government Gateway provides a highly secure environment, a resilient 'always on' service and the capacity to handle high volumes.
