Abstract

The italian Electronic Identity Card (EIC, for short) is a polycarbonate smart card equipped with a microchip (supporting cryptographic functions) and a laser band (featuring an embedded hologram). It contains personal (e.g. name, surname, date of birth,...) and biometric data (photo and fingerprint) of a citizen.
