				  is acceptable to the state agency, for which the identity of the sender or the
				  contents of the message must be authenticated, and for which no prior agreement
				  between the sender and the receiving state agency regarding message
				  authentication existed as of the effective date of this section. This section
				  does not apply to or supersede the use and expansion of existing systems:
(1) for the receipt of electronically filed
				  documents pursuant to the Texas Business and Commerce Code or other applicable
				  statutory law where the purpose of the written electronic communication is to
				  comply with statutory filing requirements and the receiving state agency or

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Digital Signatures must be created by an
				  Acceptable Technology. For a digital signature to be valid for use by a state
				  agency, it must be created by a technology that is accepted for use by the
				  department pursuant to this section.
(b) Criteria for Determining if a Digital
				  Signature Technology is Acceptable. An acceptable technology must be capable of
				  creating signatures that conform to requirements set forth in §
										RSA
				  2054.060, Texas Government Code and the
				  requirements of this section.
(c)
				  List of Acceptable Technologies. The technology known as Public Key
				  Cryptography is an acceptable technology for use by state agencies, provided
				  that the digital signature is created consistent with the following:
(1) A public key-based digital signature must
				  be unique to the person using it. Such a signature may be considered unique to
				  the person using it if:
(A) the private key
				  used to create the signature on the message is known only to the signer or, in
				  the case of a role-based key, known only to the signer and an escrow agent
				  acceptable to the signer and the state agency; and
(B) the digital signature is created when a
				  person runs a message through a one-way function, creating a message digest,
				  then encrypting the resulting message digest using an asymmetric cryptosystem
				  and the signer's private key; and
(C) although not all digitally signed
				  communications will require the signer to obtain a certificate, the signer is
				  capable of being issued a certificate to certify that he or she controls the
				  key pair used to create the signature; and
(D) it is computationally infeasible to
				  derive the private key from knowledge of the public key.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The following words and terms, when used in this chapter,
					 shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates
					 otherwise.
(1) Geographic information
				  system (GIS)--A system of computer hardware, software and procedures used to
				  store, analyze and display geographic data and related tabular data in a
				  geographic context to solve complex planning and management problems in a wide
				  variety of applications.
(2)
				  Geographic dataset--Digital data which illustrates and describes some
				  characteristic of the earth's surface or a region near the earth's surface. A
				  geographic dataset employs a defined, earth-based coordinate system which
				  allows its use in a geographic information system. For the purposes of this
				  rule, geospatial shall have the same meaning as geographic.
(3) Geographic dataset
				  enhancement--Substantial alteration of a geographic dataset which increases its
				  usefulness through the addition or modification of attribute (tabular) data
				  fields, improvements in spatial accuracy, or extension of geographic
				  coverage.
(4) Geospatial
				  metadata--A description of the characteristics of a geographic dataset,
				  recorded in a standard format. Characteristics include data content, quality,
				  purpose, condition, format, spatial coordinate system, availability, etc. The
				  Federal Geographic Data Committee has defined a formal content standard for
				  digital geospatial metadata for use by federal agencies.
(5) GIS map product--A geographic
				  representation, in paper or electronic format, displaying features from one or
				  more geographic datasets. Small scale images that are clearly intended only for
				  graphic illustration within a larger publication are not considered to be GIS
				  map products.
(6) High priority
				  imagery and datasets (HPIDS)--HPIDS are geographic datasets identified by the
				  state Geographic Information Officer as high priority for acquisition or
				  enhancement, developed or acquired by state agencies, and intended for sharing
				  and integration into a single statewide compilation.
(7) State Geographic Information Officer
				  (GIO)--The official coordinating, establishing, supporting, and monitoring
				  geographic information technology in Texas pursuant to Water Code §
				  16.021(c). The GIO serves as director of the Texas Natural Resources
				  Information System (TNRIS) within the Texas Water Development Board.
