This is another update from Project-eID team. Our (Project eID) first paper Privacy enhanced data management for an electronic identity system ( and the technically second paper ) which is about the privacy issues related with the Electronic Identity system is now available online in IEEE Xplore. If you have the IEEE membership, then you can able to access that research paper.

This research paper is, mainly discussing about the privacy issues in the Electronic Identity system and enhanced data management related with that privacy issue.

Electronic identity (eID) is being positioned to be a basic tool for identification, authentication and authorization in application domains ranging from eCommerce in private sector to eGovernance in public sector. A practical and flexible eID should be usable in both a network-connected online setting as well as in conventional offline situations. While improving security of communication and enhancing access control to resources, eID schemes also have the potential to become a serious negative factor on user privacy rights.
