Topic
In a context of the generalization of online procedures and where identity fraud and
data leaks constitute real risks, the French Government launched the France Identity
digital program in 2018 in order to design and implement a digital identification for all
citizens. Available in Beta version on Android and iOS, France Identity makes it possible
to interface via NFC (contactless) with the new French national identity card and the
data it contains in order to facilitate sharing with private companies or public institutions.
It aims to guarantee users the respect of their private life and the protection of their
online identity. Ultimately, it will offer users a reliable high-level electronic identification
solution. This presentation will address the architectural choices of the France Identity
application and the Digital Identity Guarantee Service (SGIN in french) on which it is
based, as well as the associated security issues.
