System for Electronic Filing of Tax Returns

"‘E-filing’ is the first Malaysian government application to incorporate MyKey Digital Certificate in the national identification card MyKad. MyKey goes beyond identifying and authenticating users, to the triggering of the encryption process for transactions to and from the user’s PC. The digital signature generated by MyKey enjoys the same legal standing as a handwritten signature.

MSC Trustgate.com Sdn. Bhd., provides the digital certificates in the ‘e-filing’ system, while IRIS Corporation Berhad provides the smart card reader.
