Key Contribution - My participation in this project played a fundamental role in resolving a significant challenge that could have caused the company to incur a loss of around half a million euros. This solution not only maintained the integrity and security of the product but also resulted in significant cost savings for the company, contributing to the success of this important national initiative.
The South African smart identity card – known as a Smart ID Card – replaces the old green bar-coded identity book. Both are identity documents that serve as proof of a person’s identity. This proof includes a person’s photograph, their full name, their date of birth, their place of birth, and their unique identity number. The identity card securely stores the biometrics (face and fingerprint) information of the individual. The card also has space to securely store additional info, such as evidence of votes cast in local and national elections, as a means to prevent voter fraud. Source: Wikipedia
