Training Course on Mobile Identity Systems and Digital Government Services

Introduction

As digital identity becomes a cornerstone for secure public service delivery, governments and private sector players are adopting advanced identity solutions that meet the highest standards of security, interoperability, and privacy. This training course by Kincaid Development Center provides in-depth knowledge on the GlobalPlatform Identity Configuration, Mobile ID frameworks, and security protocols essential for the implementation of mobile identity in e-Government services.

Participants will be guided through real-world scenarios and use cases to understand how to build secure, privacy-compliant, mobile-based digital ID services leveraging Secure Elements (SE), Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), Host Card Emulation (HCE), and contactless technologies.

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive Certificate of Participation.

Course Objectives:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand GlobalPlatform’s Identity and Privacy Frameworks
• Analyze advanced security specifications for Government e-ID requirements
• Interpret ID Configuration 2.0 and its changes from 1.0
