Rasim M. Alguliyev, Irada Y. Alakbarova

The social credit system is aimed at the assessment of citizens based on big data representing their daily activities. The social credit score represents the labor activities of citizens and their behavior in society and is important for making the right decisions in e-government in socio-economic and political spheres. The issues such as collecting, cleaning, structuring and analyzing personal data, which is constantly increasing and updating, are important for the assessment of social credit score. Here, information security issues, applied methods and algorithms require accuracy, and any mistakes can lead to the loss of trust and reputation of citizens. Based on this, the article analyzes existing problems in the process of personal data acquisition for the assessment of social credit score. Moreover, the article identifies important issues to be solved to ensure security of personal data and the trust between e-government and a citizen (pp.3-13).

Keywords:social credit score, e-government, personal data, tracking devices, Internet of things, big data, digital footprint, information security.
