Hongkong Post, as a recognized Certification Authority, offers different types of digital certificates and related services for personal and organisational e-security needs, by enabling safe and secure online electronic transactions in the fields of banking, finance, commercial, education and Government services.

Hongkong Post has built a Public Key Infrastructure ("PKI") in early 2000 and became the first public recognized certification authority ("CA") under the Electronic Transactions Ordinance ("ETO") (Cap. 553). As a recognized CA, Hongkong Post CA issues recognized digital certificates ("e-Cert") that comply with the provisions of the ETO. Under the ETO, digital signature supported by an e-Cert has the same legal status as a handwritten signature. Hongkong Post e-Cert is issued to individuals and businesses to authenticate the online identity of subscribers and to facilitate the conduct of online transactions in a secure and trusted environment. Hongkong Post CA also maintains a certificate repository and directory to allow the public to verify the validity of a particular Hongkong Post e-Cert.
