Abstract
The Kingdom of Bahrain is planning a new national ID card based on multi-application smart cards, PKI and biometrics. The country’s Central Informatics Organisation has issued a ‘request for tender’ that highlights the extent of the ambitious project. The card may be used as a driving licence, for health data, for immigration and as an e-purse, as well as for ID. It can also be used for fast tracking through Bahrain International Airport, using fingerprint technology to authenticate passengers at two dedicated access gates (one in arrivals, one in departures).
