Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) are participating in the development of an application to integrate electronic ID data into an SIM mobile phone card so as to use the terminal as a means of personal identifications

The prototype of mDNI, recently presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, allows secure identification of the user by his eID data stored in the mobile phone SIM card. "The SIM cards are like small computers that we carry in our mobile devices allowing us to store information and execute applications, with the advantage of providing a high level security,” explained the UC3M Professor from the Telematic Engineering Department, Celeste Campo, the principal researcher for this project which is being carried out in collaboration with Telefónica R D and Secuware.
