Mozambique is advancing
efforts to enhance digital trust and expand the use of secure electronic
transactions following discussions between the National Institute of
Information Technologies (INTIC, IP) and Tablu Tech on the proposed strategic
partnership to develop the MoDI Sign platform.
The meeting focused on the
evolution of MoDI Sign, a platform designed to provide Advanced Digital
Signatures and support a more secure and trusted digital environment in
Mozambique.
The engagement was chaired
by INTIC President, Prof. Dr. Eng. Lourino Chemane, and brought together
officials from INTIC and representatives of Tablu Tech. Discussions covered the
development of the platform, digital trust, digital identity and the expansion
of electronic signature services.
Prof. Chemane said the
platform could provide significant value to citizens by facilitating the
registration and operationalisation of the Digital Certification System,
helping to make the process safer, more accessible and more efficient.
INTIC Director of Licensing
and Certification, Laisse Mucavele, said the platform would also contribute to
expanding access to INTIC services, particularly electronic transaction
services and public key infrastructure.
She stressed that trust
remains fundamental to the credibility of digital signatures and called for
services that are accessible, secure and designed to simplify digital
transactions for citizens as well as public and private institutions.
Tablu Tech General Manager
José Samo Gudo said the development of MoDI Sign, alongside the implementation
of digital identity and biometric solutions in major national projects, had
provided a broader understanding of the role digital trust can play in the
transformation of government and the development of Mozambique’s digital
economy.
According to Gudo, the
evolution of the platform is expected to widen access to Advanced Digital
Signatures, reduce the effort required for individual institutions to integrate
with INTIC and accelerate the adoption of national digital certificates.
The platform could also
support greater interoperability between public and private digital services
while contributing to national efforts to strengthen digital identity
management and anti-fraud mechanisms.
