Professional Presentation in Austrian E-Government

Mandates are a fundamental vehicle for carrying out public administration and are an indispensable requirement for conducting transactions on someone else's behalf in legal or business matter. Austrian eGovernment initiatives have introduced electronic mandates early. However, a special case is the submission of professional representatives when conducting transactions on someone else's behalf. In this paper we introduce a solution allowing professional representatives the representation of both natural persons and corporate bodies by means of complementing existing tools and technologies for adequate online identification and authentication.
