Unique Identifiers

• 2 types of unique identifiers

1.unique numbers for persons

2.unique numbers for identity documentstravel documentsvirtual tokens

• identifiers make it easy to present and prove identity

• identifiers enable eGov by means of information exchange even without involving the citizen

• Most countries with e-services policy use e-ID card as keyidentifier :

– Need for physical control in Moldova– Need for travel document (ID being much cheaper than a

passport)– Biometrics storage ?– Off-line ID checking (rental, banks, etc.)– Mobile authentication (CR-principle eg Portugal)

• Can also be done without e-ID card

– Most average users don’t have a smartphone yet• Discussion client- vs server-side mobile e-ID

Identity Documents and their use

• documents or tokens are carriers for identity information

• a secure ID card usually contains

– unique ID number

– unique card number number

– identity data

– photo, biometric data

• an e-ID card is the typical base tool to identify and authenticate a person

Identity Documents & Tokens

• Perfectly in-line with Moldova’s strategy

• Is very complementary

-> derived mobile identity

Mobile Identity

• Issuing ID documents or ID tokens relies on a reliablefirst-time registration procedure to establish the trueidentity of the citizen

• Registration for other ID documents or tokens relies on ID cards as initial proof of identity (« MotherIdentity »)
