  • Österreich: Die „schlafende“ Entwicklung der Signaturen

    In den letzten Tagen finden sich wieder einige Meldungen in den Medien, die sich mit dem Thema Signaturen beschäftigen. Es geht insbesondere darum, dass digitale Signaturen wahrscheinlich auf den Bankomatkarten integriert werden.

  • Österreich: Maestro-Card mit Digitaler Signatur

    All-in-One: Bürgerkarte und Ausweis im Internet

    Ab 31. Januar 2005 werden neue Maestro-Karten in Österreich mit einer Digitalen Signatur-Funktion ausgestattet. Mehr als 6,7 Mio. Bank-Karten können somit künftig als "Ausweis für das Internet" verwendet werden. Dies erklärte Finanzstadtrat Alfred Finz, heute Montag, bei der Europay Pressekonferenz in Wien. Konkret verfügen neue Maestro-Karten ab sofort über einen neuen Chip, auf dem die Digitale Signatur "a.sign-premium" aktiviert werden kann.

  • UK: General Election debate misses purpose of ID Cards

    Information published by Government Departments since February shows that the database which underpins the ID Card is central to the Government's aim to deliver efficient and effective public services in general. This purpose, which is far wider than the narrow objective of establishing identity in order to access public services, has not been mentioned so far in the current General Election campaign. For example, the Labour Party Manifesto refers to ID Cards in the context of immigration, identity theft, illegal working, fraudulent use of public services and terrorism.

  • UK: ID card plan in action already

    The Home Office has opened bidding for consultancy

    The first stage of the UK identity cards programme is already underway, Computing can reveal.

    The Home Office has invited bids for consultancy on the scheme, including developing the business case and setting the requirements specification.

  • USA: Government will benefit from critical mass in smart ID cards

    With more than 10 million Common Access Cards issued and currently in the hands of 3.4 million DOD personnel and contractors, the Defense Department has learned how to issue and make use of smart ID cards.

    Mary Dixon, director of the Defense Manpower Data Center, responsible for issuing all of those cards, now wants to see agencies begin issuing the civilian CAC counterpart, the interoperable Personal Identity Verification cards.

  • ZA: Smart ID card announcement soon

    The smart ID card system is being designed and announcements regarding it will be made over the next few weeks, says the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).

    At a Parliamentary portfolio committee meeting last week, members asked when the smart card would become a reality. The department said announcements will be made soon since the current green ID book is not sufficient to match new technologies and transactions under the IT modernisation project.
