Since 1997, the Italian Laws have recognized electronic deliverysystems as legally usable. In 2005 after two years of technical tests,the characteristics of an official electronic delivery service, namedcertified electronic mail (in Italian "Posta Elettronica Certificata")were defined, giving the system legal standing. Design of the entiresystem was carried out by the National Center for Informatics in thePublic Administration of Italy (DigitPA), followed by efforts for theimplementation and testing of the service. The DigitPA has given theItalian National Research Council (CNR), and in particular TheInstitute of Information Science and Technologies at the CNR (ISTI),the task of running tests on providers of the service to guarantee thecorrect implementation and interoperability. This document describesthe certified email system adopted in Italy. It represents the systemas it is at the moment of writing, following the technical regulationsthat were written based upon the Italian Law DPR. November 2, 2005.
