PARIS, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The new French electronic National Identity Card (eID) has been awarded the

prestigious Best New National ID Card prize by Reconnaissance International at

the HSP Awards EMEA (High Security Printing for Europe - Africa - Middle East).

Awarded by a jury of independent international experts, it recognises the

outstanding achievement and technical sophistication of this personal

identification document program thanks to French Ministry of the Interior, ANTS

(Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés) and IN Groupe's work in the design and

production of the new French eID.

An identity document at the cutting edge of technology

In accordance with Regulation, France has deployed a new identity card, more

secure, convenient and innovative. This card can be used to prove one's

identity and serves as a travel document in the European Union. More than 2

million new eID(s) have already been issued since June 2021.

Designed to meet French citizens' everyday needs, this next-generation

polycarbonate card can be used for up to 10 years. It incorporates both tried

and tested security features and innovations whose security design has been

validated by the experts of the Ministry of the Interior.

The card incorporates new security features: the DOVID is a new-generation

holographic device, the secure background extends into the transparent border

of the card, a Visible Digital Seal allows the card to be digitally signed and

ensures the integrity and origin of the credentials should it be impossible to

access the data on the highly secured chip.

IN Groupe at the service of the State

In the French National Identity Card program, IN Groupe acts as a solutions

integrator, relying on the contribution of some twenty different companies. IN

Groupe qualifies, tests and selects, according to the ANTS specifications and

the expected security targets, the best technologies, components and IT systems

that the French government needs to build the most secure document.

IN Groupe is a public limited company, guaranteeing France sovereignty to issue

its legal identity documents, providing the French government an industrial

operator that keeps the identity technologies and technological patents in

France.

For IN Groupe, identity and its protection are at the heart of its raison

d'être because it insures States' sovereignty and trust with their citizens.

Especially since legal identity remains the reference identity among all others

both in the physical and digital worlds.
