Information about Authentitica

Authentic It is a service Authentication authentication, Single Sign On and Authorization Authorization of public employees, senior officials and related personnel, for internal AA.PP applications. It has a horizontal repository of users from primary sources.

It is a system aimed at public employees, senior officials and related personnel.

It is based on a horizontal repository of users synchronized from multiple sources (RCP, High Positions, Eventual Personnel, EE.LL. …), high manual or self-registration.

It includes the current regulations based on the National Security Scheme (ENS), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the eIDAS Regulation.

Within the framework of its competences, the State Digital Administration Agency (hereinafter AEAD) is providing a set of common services to the Public Administrations, in order to promote the advance of electronic administration both in interadministrative relations through the SARA Network, and towards the citizen, through the Internet. These services are provided through a set of applications and are supported by user repositories, for accreditation to the different systems, in some cases scattered and unrelated.

In order to save costs, reuse resources, carry out a sustainable and efficient maintenance of applications, with a more compact set of horizontal services, Authentitica has been launched, which, consolidating the already existing initiatives, must establish a model to consolidate the different user repositories that use the common or horizontal services provided through the SARA Network and the Internet.

It is a question of ultimately implementing a horizontal repository of authentication that can be provided and consumed by the Public Administrations. This repository provides an equally horizontal service of user provisioning and will serve for the authentication and authorization of users in the use of the Administration’s internal management applications.

The service aims to establish the criteria for the definition of a directory of users and its different modules and services of provision, authentication and single sign on, according to a discrete set of scenarios that are understood to cover the main needs of potential consumers.

The benefits of this initiative are listed below:

• It is a horizontal service for all PPPs, which favours a better use of common infrastructures and services.
• You must provide a standardized user repository.
• It offers a horizontal layer of authentication with electronic certificate which promotes interoperability and system security.
• It provides a horizontal user provisioning module with a set of security measures set by default, which lays the foundation for the repository’s content to be enriched and maintained.
• Consolidates and synchronizes initiatives of wide use by the Public Administrations: DIR3, Portal of Local Entities, Portal of Autonomous Communities, Central Registry of Personnel, Portal Works, Services offered to the citizen by Internet through the Portals of the General Directorate, which provides clear synergies.
• It offers different usage and/or integration scenarios, and a web-based interoperability module, thereby providing a flexible framework for its use.
