New eID and Slovakia in mobile phone
The use of information technologies in a contactless way is increasingly coming to the fore, while it is also enhanced by the increasing use of mobile devices with NFC. Non-contact has gained attention even during the last years marked by anti-pandemic measures and efforts to limit the transmission of the disease through physical contact.
The new generation of identity card (dubbed eID 2.0), issued from December 1, 2022, reflects this trend. By applying the latest technologies in the field of chip technologies, it is possible to use eID 2.0 also in this already known way, e.g. from payment cards or payments by mobile phone - simply attach it.
eID 2.0 increases the overall added value as well as the comfort of users, enables a multi-channel approach and has the ambition to significantly penetrate the commercial sector as well. It becomes the most secure tool compatible with mobile devices, which opens the door to literally all electronic services from any place and at any time.
Does this mean the contact card readers have finished? And does it have something to do with the project Slovakia in Mobile? You will find out if you accept a cordial invitation to the presentation.
