The German BSI started a project for an open source eID simulator. It will allow a wide range of personalisation, is more flexible than real cards and is free to use. Background and goals There is a rising need of test cards for developers of eID clients and companies which want to offer services by using the eID function of the German eID card. Today is difficult get test cards for new develop...

festivals and celebrations are regarded as vitality and dynamism of each society. in pre-islamic iran, there have been as many as twenty four festivals. when iranians accepted islam, many islamic festivals were added to these national festivals. whereas one can find lots of information in tarikh-e-beihaghi, we can find little information in other historical books. meanwhile there is quite a lar...

Gegenstand des vorliegenden Beitrags ist die Entwicklung eines soziotechnischen Ökosystem-Modells für elektronische Identitäten (eID), das national und international anwendbar ist. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Frage beantwortet, wie der Nutzungserfolg einer eID erreicht werden kann. Diese Frage wird vor dem Hintergrund gestellt, dass nationale eID-Lösungen etwa in der EU oder auf anderen Ko...

Electronic identity (eID) cards promise to supply a universal, nation-wide mechanism for user authentication. Most European countries have started to deploy eID for government and private sector applications. Are government-issued electronic ID cards the proper way to authenticate users of online services? We use the German eID project as a showcase to discuss eID from an application perspectiv...

This paper investigates the effects of the presence and magnitude of sensor noise on operators' performance and control stability when they use an Ecological Interface Design (EID) interface and a non-EID interface. Sensor noise was gradually increased in selected low-level physical sensors of DURESS III, a representative thermal-hydraulic process simulation. There are two important findings. F...

BACKGROUND Previous studies with small sample sizes reported contradicting findings as to whether pulmonary function tests can predict exercise-induced oxygen desaturation (EID). OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)), resting oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) are predictors of EID in chronic obstructive pulmona...

Many countries are currently designing or even rolling out electronic identity cards. Simultaneously, eID applications are developed. In many cases, the eID technology is initially integrated in governmental applications. Thereafter, the technology is adopted by other domains (i.e. the financial sector, eHealth services, social networking, corporate environments, ...). However, security, privac...

The UK is the largest lamb meat producer in Europe. However, the low profitability of sheep farming sector suggests production efficiency could be improved. Although the use of technologies such as Electronic Identification (EID) tools could allow a better use of flock resources, anecdotal evidence suggests they are not widely used. The aim of this study was to assess uptake of EID technology, ...

BACKGROUND Services to diagnose early infant HIV infection should be offered at the 6-week immunization visit. Despite high 6-week immunization attendance, the coverage of early infant diagnosis (EID) is low in many sub-Saharan countries. We explored reasons for such missed opportunities at 6-week immunization visits. METHODS We used data from 2 cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2010 in So...

Several Member States in the European Union (EU)have rolled out electronic identity (eID) tokens for their citizens. The main objective of these eID tokens is to equip citizens with a tool for Identification, Authentication and electronic Signatures (IAS) for online transactions. Member States have invested heavily in building the infrastructure and the e-government services supporting eID toke...
