Open-eid software is a collection of software components offering support for PKI-based functionality, i.e. operations with different cryptographic tokens (e.g. eID cards), handling digitally signed documents, file encryption/decryption and signing and authentication in web environment. The ID-software comprises end-user applications, software libraries, web components, drivers for communicating with the cryptographic tokens and other complementary components. open-eid software components can be logically divided in the following groups: Desktop applications for end-users; Software libraries…

With the uptake of eGovernment services, applications and information have become highly accessible and available. However, not all information should be freely accessible, and proper access control should be put in place especially when it concerns highly confidential information managed by the government. This can be achieved by managing access and this preferably without compromising the efficiency of access receiving for legitimate requests. The solution of the Flemish government offers safety and efficiency for identity and access management. The mission of the identity- and access…

General Description The product is a Java applet that can digitally sign PDF documents using a signing certificate that is contained in a smart card or similar secure signature creation device. It has a data store of more than thirty smart card profiles that we have tested. This data store allows the applet to recognise the type of smart card that the user has presented. The corresponding smart card profile is retrieved and the technical parameters such as digest algorithm or middleware location are automatically selected, allowing the user to sign with minimal effort - the aim is for "one…

The signature verification tool has been developed by A-SIT. It is a web based application that allows uploading of documents of various signature formats. The tool verifies all signatures and indicates for every signature whether it is valid or not. The tool is used by the Austrian Electronic Signature Supervision Authority for the national signature-verification portal www.signature-verification.gv.at.

Certificate Status Tool is a multiplatform application tool which provides validation of X509 Certificates based on Certificate Revocation Lists and the Online Certificate Status Protocol. Certificates can either be imported or users can perform a LDAP lookup on preconfigured servers. Currently the configuration only includes LDAP servers of the Austrian Citizen Card and related services, but other LDAP servers and validation services can be easily added via the graphical user interface. The Certificate Status Tool validates certificates based on their validity period, the signature and…

CCE is a multiplatform application tool which provides encryption, decryption and general data management facilities for individuals and groups. It supports encryption and decryption of files or folders using either Austrian Citizen Card (ACC) or software based keys (SBK). The encrypted data in CCE is stored in containers, which are files based on S/MIME format, supported by common email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird and others. The application supports both asymmetric and symmetric encryption approaches. Although CCE's usage is not limited to Austrian Citizen Card only, leveraging its…

Swedish TSL Trust is a solution for validating electronic signatures from EU memberstates within the scope of the Services Directive (2006/123/EC) and the TSL infrastructure. The challenge in the context of EU wide services is to determine whether the signature certificate used to support validation of the signature is trustworthy. To support this trust process, the EU commission has established a trust infrastructure based on national supervisory bodies that publish information about trust services in their respective region. This information is published in a Trust Service Status List (TSL)…

Apache Syncope is an Open Source system for managing digital identities in enterprise environments, implemented in JEE technology and released under Apache 2.0 license. Identity management (or IdM) represents the joint result of business process and IT to manage user data on systems and applications. IdM involves considering user attributes, roles, resources and entitlements in trying to give a decent answer to the question bumping at every time in IT administrators’ mind: Who has access to What, When, How, and Why? More information at Apache Syncope website.

The CBDS Framework is a web services framework that enables users to create digitally signed documents (PDFs and BDOC containers) using a wide variety of national smart (ID-)cards. The trust status of CAs/countries is established through multiple TSLs (Trust Service Lists) managed through a web-based administration interface.

Simple, graphical desktop interface to view and print the chip content of the Belgian eID card. Typically, this is used when a company or service needs to make a paper copy of a proof of identity (e.g. a bank, hotel, money transfer agency, ... )

The Belgium Federal ICT Department (FedICT) is developing an eID Digital Signature Service, supporting the creation of XML signatures (XAdES-X-L) using the Belgian eID card. Although the citizen is also offered the possibility to download the signed XML document, it should be noted that the eID DSS targets integration of electronic signatures as part of a web based business work flow (service centric oriented rather than document centric oriented)

The official eID Middleware software offers components for using the Belgian electronic ID-card on MS-Windows, MacOS X and Linux. The middleware does not provide functionality to end-users, but serves as a bridge between desktop and online applications (such as the Federal Authentication Service that is used to authenticate citizens on official websites) and the physical hardware (identity card).
