• NCDC's mandates revolve around issuing and overseeing digital certificates through an integrated secure system (technology and security devices - software - laws and legislation). Such system aims to manage digital keys utilized to maintain the confidentiality of information exchanged and verify the identity of its users. In addition, NCDC upholds preserving data's safety so that any attempts at tampering can be detected, and to manage the processes and transactions of digital signatures.
