Abstract

Although state of public research in privacy-enhancing technologies (PET) is reasonably good, they are not yet widely used in common electronic documents. We argue that low acceptance of PET is due to a large gap between ordinary paper-based documents and new e-ID schemes. We show how to make the gap narrower by introducing a mobile electronic identity tool with privacy-preserving biometric authentication scheme.
