Dr Gonzi said there were other countries that had biometric systems. Malta was following the EU model.
The electronic information system in the eID cards would include details required by the ID Cards Act as well as systems of digital certificates which allow people to access electronic systems and new e-government services, including those relating to health.
All this would be done within required security parameters.
Dr Gonzi said an evaluation was ongoing of electronic solutions which would allow eID cards to be used for on-line payments and similar functions. Biometric details would include a digital photo of the holder’s face and other biometric details on which decisions still needed to be taken.
