From the eCard-API-Framework Towards a Comprehensive eID-Framework for Europe
نویسندگان
چکیده
The German eCard-strategy aims at harmonizing the various government projects which issue or use smart cards for authentication and signature purposes. Against this background the German government developed the eCard-API-Framework [eCard-TR] which aims at supporting arbitrary smart cards and facilitating the integration of them into various eID-applications. The present contribution provides a brief overview of the main features of the eCard-API-Framework, highlights current standardization efforts at CEN and ISO and provides an outlook how this approach might form the basis for a comprehensive eID-framework for Europe and beyond.
