Nigeria has enrolled in the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) Public Key Directory (PKD) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
The Special Adviser to the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo on Media and Publicity, Mr Babatunde Alao, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
The minister said that the development was informed by the government's efforts to modernise border control systems. "With our effort on Border Governance and Management, Nigerians can be assured that the era of endless wait and manual verification at airports across the globe is over." Explaining the role of the system, Juan Salazar, Secretary-General of ICAO, noted that PKD would enable the sharing of authentic travel documents among member states across the world.
"The PKD/PKI will be a game changer for us, and we can't wait to see it transform the face of things.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later. "PKI is a system that uses digital certificates and public-private key pairs to ensure secure communication, data integrity, and authentication of documents."
