The document was inked by Director of ITC Elnar Asadov and Deputy Director of "AGAT - Control System" Dmitry Gorachko.

As part of the exhibition the ITC also signed a memorandum of understanding with Turkish companies TÜB?TAK B?LGEM Havelsan, which provides for cooperation in the field of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

Signing of memorandums on cooperation became a landmark event that will allow the parties to exchange high in the field of IT technology, protection of information, development of information systems for critical industries, energy and transport.

Cooperation will also allow in a short period move to concrete action for next Bakutel exhibition to present the following specific joint solutions, which will be implemented for the benefit of the country.

Director of the ITC also discussed prospects of cooperation with the Vitalie Colak, Deputy Minister of Information Technology of Moldova.

Another document was signed with Microsoft Azerbaijan on creation of PKI for the application of electronic signature in the new generation of identity cards.

Currently, within the framework of this project a new certification center has been created in Azerbaijan, which will deal with the integration of electronic signatures into chips of IDs of the new generation.

The new Certification Center will handle requests from the personalization centers operating under the Internal Ministry of Azerbaijan. On the basis of requests the Center will prepare the certificates and send them back.

The list of personal data to be entered in the chips of IDs has already been approved. The chip will include information about the owner and the data about two certificates: the first - the authentication certificate and the second - for e-signatures.

For protection of chips, the Center uses security certificate EAL6 +. Tests have been completed and currently underway to build a badging system. Work in this direction is planned to be completed by the end of the year, and the issuance of new identity cards are expected from January, 2017.
