Electronic Driving Licence


Smart card chips for Driving License provide additional security and privacy.
In most countries the driving licenses are widely used as ID documents for security-sensitive operations such as opening bank accounts or boarding airplanes. Driving License-based ID theft leads to substantial financial and human risks.
