E-Identity Project – TR Identity Card Project

The purpose of the Republic of Turkey Identity Card Project is to develop a smart card-based electronic authentication system that enables electronic authentication at different security levels, and thus to provide secure access to services offered in the electronic environment. In line with this objective, the following products were developed within the scope of the project: - Smart Card Chip (UKTÜM) - Smart Card Operating System (AKİS) - Card Management and Administration System (KYS) - Secure Card Access Devices (KEC) - Electronic Authentication System (EKDS) The electronic identity card, the pilot implementation of which was successfully completed in Bolu province, contains the cardholder's identity information, digital photograph and biometric data (fingerprint, finger vein print and palm print). In addition to the identity information it contains, one of the most important features of the ID card is that it has visual and electronic security elements. The electronic security elements of the card are provided by the smart card operating system (AKİS) and the smart card integrated circuit (UKTÜM), which are developed nationally. AKİS has EAL4+ and UKTÜM has EAL5 common criteria level security certificates. The Secure Card Access Device (KEC) was developed to verify that the identity card for electronic applications is issued by an authorized institution and that the person carrying the card is actually the owner of the card. Thanks to a Secure Access Module (GEM), also provided by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, the KEC can securely communicate with the ID card and read the biometric data of the cardholder inside the card. During the project, in order for the KEC to be produced by the industry, work was carried out with the Turkish Standards Institute to develop a four-part "Secure Card Access Devices for Turkish ID Cards" standard. For this purpose, a globally recognized protection profile approved at the level of the common criterion EAL4 was prepared and published.
