AppTextID National ID card systems using embedded electronic chips, enabled by biometrics and dependent on registry databases, are increasing around the world, driven by diverse concerns from identity theft, terrorism, immigration control, administrative efficiency to fraud reduction. The workshop aims to explore these developments by examining not only their technical and organizational dimensions but also the historical, international, comparative, and political economy aspects of new AppTextID card systems. In particular, the workshop aims to understand how new ID processes contribute to surveillance practices, through the classification of citizens and residents according to varying criteria, thus affecting their life-chances, status, and prospects. Contributions are sought that empirically grounded, but that also refers to appropriate explanatory and critical theory.
Improving security, slashing ID fraud, and identity theft and creating an infrastructure of trust for new online access is high on every government’s plan, with a call for more great security features and the necessary legislation to implement them.
Many advanced countries are now demonstrating that, beyond the security benefits for both states and individuals, national ID cards with their derived digital IDs can provide citizens and businesses with real services and benefits, without infringing upon new rules on data protection and civil liberties.
A digital identity for each citizen
These National ID programs are also the opportunity to create a secure digital identity for each cardholder. These secure electronic identity cards generally referred to as eID cards, or simply eID’s are opening the gate to secure and trusted online services.
The most common applications for these smart cards are in smart travel documents, electronic ID’s, electronic signatures, community cards, key cards used to access secure areas or business infrastructures, social security cards, etc.
