A Robust Authentication System With Application Anonymity in Multiple Identity Smart Cards

User Authentication plays a crucial role in smart card based systems. Multi-application smart cards are easy to use as a single smart card supports more than one application. These cards are broadly divided into single identity cards and Multi-identity cards. In this paper we have tried to provide a secure Multi-identity Multi-application Smart Card Authentication Scheme. Security is provided to user’s data by using dynamic tokens as verifiers and nested cryptography. A new token is generated after every successful authentication for next iteration. Anonymity is also provided to data servers which provides security against availability attacks. An alternate approach to store data on servers is explored which further enhances the security of the underlying system.

Obowiązek posiadania dowodu osobistego i funkcje dowodów pod rządami dekretu z dnia 22 października 1951 roku o dowodach osobistych oraz w czasach współczesnych

The fulfilment of basic civic duties has always entailed the need for individuals to bear certain responsibilities. Their weight varies depending on the content of the obligation itself and the political system of the state in which the obligation is fulfilled. Such a claim is fully justified if we consider the obligation to have an identity card, defined by the content of the Decree of 22 October 1951 and the Act of 6 August 2010 on Identity Cards. The analysis of the above-mentioned regulations allows for: emphasizing the obligation’s character as a basic civic duty, recalling the differences in the actual occurrence and social perception of ailments related to the implementation of the obligation to have an identity card in the times of the Polish People’s Republic and in the 21st century, while referring to the similarities and differences resulting from the visual aspects and functionality of contemporary and historical ID cards.

Public Service Management through Making Identity Cards During Covid-19 in Bandar Lampung City, Indonesia

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced every resident in Indonesia to have an Electronic Identity Card because it is one of the requirements for disbursing social assistance to residents affected by Covid-19. However, the Identity Card service in Bandar Lampung City is still experiencing several problems, such as long queues and a slow system. The pandemic condition should be used as a positive momentum in improving services that were initially face-to-face and caused long queues and then switched to an online system using Information Technology. This study uses a qualitative approach with data validity techniques using source triangulation. The results showed that the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Bandar Lampung City has not fully worked well but has carried out service standards in service management in making Identity Cards by reducing face-to-face service hours and limiting 60 people per day, diverting consulting services and complete files. Through the Whatsapp service, the public is also free of charge as well as providing service facilities and infrastructure according to health protocol standards and placing officers at the service counter in accordance with their competencies as well as periodic training for service counter officers. The results of this study also revealed that there was a very rapid policy change that caused a lack of socialization to the community in Bandar Lampung City, as well as a lack of awareness of the public who needed services on the importance of obeying health protocols.

Kualitas Pelayanan Kartu Tanda Penduduk Elektronik Di Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil Kota Palu

This study examines the Quality of Electronic Identity Card Services at the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Palu City. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques, carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Informant withdrawal technique using purposive. The number of informants in this study amounted to 5 people. The theory used is the theory of Zethmal, Parasuraman and Berry, which consists of 5 (five) aspects : tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. Based on the results of research conducted, that the quality of Electronic Identity Card Services at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Palu City is not optimal. First; tangibles, namely inadequate facilities and infrastructure such as the lack of space for waiting rooms and limited available seats, as well as public toilets that look unclean. But in terms of the appearance of the apparatus is quite good. Second; reliability, namely the ability of the apparatus to use assistive devices is good, it's just that the services provided do not fully refer to the service flow. Third; responsiveness, namely the response of the apparatus who received the applicant's complaint was very good, but the speed of processing electronic identity cards was not maximized. Fourth; assurance, which is the guarantee given by the apparatus to the applicants that is not on time. However, the permit fee charged is in accordance with applicable regulations. Fifth; empathy, namely the service provided is not discriminatory and the apparatus always provides courteous and friendly service. Thus, from the five aspects of service quality above, there are still several things that need to be addressed, so that the quality of service provided can be maximized.

Making Reliable Persons: Managing Descent and Genealogical Computation in Pakistan

In 2016, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), which produces Pakistan’s biometric-based national identity card, publicly announced that it would be “re-verifying” identity cards for a national security drive. NADRA relies on the documentation of descent-based relations, including genealogical charts (shajarah-yi-nasab), for its verification procedures. In so doing, NADRA asks the difficult question of who belongs where and who is a citizen, based on who they used to be. This article historically traces the movement of genealogies between the realm of the familial and the bureaucratic. I examine how the colonial state deployed genealogical expertise and how this formation folds into the postcolonial present in ways that shape capacities for genealogy-based claims to identity. It demonstrates how what I term “genealogical computation” extends beyond the domain of governance into articulations of identity that seek to establish status, reliability, and trustworthiness. I argue that “reliable persons” are produced in contemporary Pakistan through an encounter between the genealogical computations of citizens and the expectations of an ethno-securitized state. This encounter is borne out of a rehearsed relation where one’s genealogy, which has held a particular meaning in relation to one kind of security state (the colonial), is now asked to take on another.

Permanent Temporality: Race, Time, and the Materiality of Romanian Identity Cards

Documents, in particular identity cards, mediate relationships between individuals and institutions. Their materiality matters and actively impacts how states govern populations and their movements. In this paper, I examine one such object, the Romanian identity card. Focusing on its temporality and agency, I explore how objects and technological procedures enact race. In Romania, people without an address or proof of residence—many of them members of segregated Roma communities living in deep poverty—can only receive a temporary identity card, the Carte de Idenititate Provizorie (CIP). CIP holders do not enjoy full citizenship and are deprived of various rights, such as the right to travel without a passport within the European Union. They are also exposed to heightened surveillance as they must apply annually for a new CIP. Starting from the material object of the CIP, I explore how race comes into being as a relation at the intersection of various temporalities that are folded into the rules and bureaucratic practice entailed in its issue. I offer the concept of “permanent temporality” to analyze how racialization occurs in practices of governing people and their movement in Europe.

Análisis discursivo de las cédulas de los expósitos del Hospicio de Oviedo (1752‒1782)

The Oviedo Hospital was the main charity in charge of caring for foundlings in Asturias (Spain) between the 18th and the 20th century. Sometimes these children carried an identity card or document with them containing several pieces of information, such as their name or the confirmation of baptism. These were copied into the hospital register books (‘Foundling Records’). The identity cards are characterized by the repetition of a basic informative scheme and certain linguistic elements located in the area of ‘language of immediacy’. Taking this into account, the aim of this paper is to examine from the perspective of discourse analysis a corpus composed of 1.117 identity cards collected between 1752 and 1782 to determine if these documents are able to constitute by themselves a specific discursive tradition.

The Impact of the digitalization and the policy changes on the Savings Instruments (Saving Certificates) in Bangladesh: a response from the investors.

Investment in the National Savings Certificate (NSC) has been the most popular savings instrument among the people of Bangladesh that provides guaranteed returns with tax savings. The government of Bangladesh mainly issues the NSCs to collect money from small and scattered savings of general people. It brings marginal and special populations into the Government's social safety net programs for ensuring an equitable and poverty-free society. Recently the authority has introduced automation and regulatory deterrents such as making mandatory the submission of e-TIN, national identity cards, bank accounts, cheque transactions, and increased deduction at source. My research has attempted to identify the impact of the policy changes on the investors’ minds and how they react. This study suggests that recent policy changes and the requirement for the mandatory documents to purchase NSCs have no impact on the investment decision as people still consider this is the most attractive and secures means of investment.

One Transgender Community's Experience of the COVID-19 Pandemic

This essay contains an introduction and a translation of an account provided in Indonesian by Rully Mallay, a transgender community leader and activist at the Kebaya Foundation, a shelter for people living with HIV in the province of Yogyakarta. It describes the impact of restrictions imposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and mobilization in response to it by those who identify as “waria” between February and September 2020. Waria played a pivotal role in mobilizing a community response in that city, providing support not only to their own community but also to other marginal groups impacted in similar ways. Harsh lockdown measures imposed to respond to COVID-19 disproportionately affected waria, cutting off access to economic and community support. This was particularly acute for the many waria without state-issued identity cards. Nevertheless, Rully expresses her hope that through the skills and adaptability they have demonstrated in their response to the public health emergency, they might achieve recognition and acceptance from Indonesian society.
