TrustBearer OpenID to Support Belgian National ID Card

TrustBearer Labs Broadens Strong Authentication OpenID Service for Electronic National Identity Cards

Ft Wayne, IN April 22, 2008 -- TrustBearer Labs, a leading authentication solutions company, has announced support for the Belgium eID, the Belgian national identification card, with its TrustBearer OpenID service.

With TrustBearer OpenID support, the Belgium eID smart card can now be paired with the OpenID web authentication standard, making it possible for over 7 million Belgian citizens to use their eID cards to access any website that accepts OpenID. The card is required to be carried by all citizens older than 15, and is used for identification and access to government services.

This allows users and businesses alike to capture the privacy and security benefits of smart card technology without issuing a single card or device.
OpenID is an online authentication standard that allows a single ID to be used with any website that supports OpenID. While OpenID is gaining momentum with involvement from leading companies, such as Yahoo, Orange, AOL, IBM and other industry leaders, many OpenID critics and proponents agree that its business viability hinges upon addressing some security and privacy issues.
