Secure eID Applications

Flexibility and control for digital identity documents

Electronic identity documents must adapt to evolving requirements, new services, and regulatory changes. Flexible, secure eID applications enable governments and issuers to design, deploy, and extend secure identity documents over time—without losing control or security.

Use Cases

National ID Cartes

National eID Cards

Enable secure citizen identification with multi-purpose electronic ID cards supporting authentication, digital services, and identity verification.

eID Card

ePassports

Implement ICAO-compliant travel documents with secure chip-based identity and cross-border interoperability.

Registration

Electronic Driving Licences and Vehicle Registration documents

Provide digital driving or vehicle credentials with secure storage, verification, and extensible functionality on-chip.

Use Case Challenges

Flexibility

  • Limited post-issuance changes
  • Static document functionality
  • High reissuance costs

Complexity

  • Multiple applications per document
  • Integration challenges
  • Lifecycle management effort

Sovereignty

  • Vendor lock-in risks
  • Limited control over chip platforms
  • Restricted sourcing strategies

Authentication

  • PIN-based limitations
  • Usability challenges
  • Rising assurance requirements
