Abstract:
A mobile, secure and user-friendly two-factor authentication using the German electronic identity (eID) card will be presented. The new approach shall be used for the mobile online-authentication of citizens in order to get access onto high trust level electronic government services. One part of the innovation is the use of a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled Android smartphone as ubiquitous NFC card reader. The new approach implements a mobile, as well as a stationary authentication solution for citizens. The high trust level of the mobile online-authentication will be reached by a strong two-factor authentication with the German eID card and the corresponding 6-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN)
