E-ID Project
About the Project
The Government of Saint Christopher (Saint Kitts) and Nevis approved the national long-term e-government development roadmap in 2021, positioning the establishment of a digital identity authentication system as the priority task.
It hopes to use Taiwan’s ICT technology advantages and digital governance experience to support the establishment of a citizen identity authentication mechanism, as an important infrastructure for various future online services, to promote Saint Kitts and Nevis’s development into a digital nation with smart governance.
This project includes establishing a public key, identity identification and digital signature mechanism integrated into a secure and effective identity authentication mechanism; building a unified data management mechanism for the two islands; and assisting the country in acquiring digital ID card manufacturing and card issuing capabilities. The physical chip ID card follows ICAO electronic anti-counterfeiting and access control criteria, ISO 29115 (digital ID four levels of entity authentication assurance standard,) ISO 7816 (chip card standard,) ISO 14443 (contactless chip card standard) and ISO 21188 (public key infrastructure standard) and other standards.
The works include:
(1) Establishing a digital identity authentication management system;
(2) Establishing a digital identity authentication management mechanism;
(3) Enhancing capability building in information technology and security.
