| dc.description.abstract | In the face of advancement in technology like smart card and biometrics, Citizen Identification System is getting the attention of many countries of the world. Most of the developed countries are in the process of implementing robust ID card system. However, Ethiopia uses the manual ID cards issued at kebele level for citizen identification. On the other hand, many government and private organizations are automating their day-to-day operations. Among them lie organizations that keep citizen information for one or other purpose. Exchange and Integration of citizen information among these organizations is very important. However, there is no much effort done in this respect. It is therefore important to anticipate and prepare a mean for integration before more automation is done and the data repository in many organizations grew. In this project, we studied a system that keeps citizens’ identification information and generates unique national ID number, which can assist in the integration of citizen information. We assessed the experience of other countries in using citizen identification systems and the efforts in Ethiopia in that direction. We also analyzed the requirements for citizen identification system and proposed a working architecture for Ethiopian condition. The implementation issues like the privacy of individuals and the functionality creep of ID system is also assessed. Moreover, the security requirement of the proposed system is specified and a scheme for generating unique national ID number is proposed from based on the experience of other countries. Finally, we developed EthioCIS prototype for the Citizen Identification System of Ethiopia using software development tools i.e Jbuilder 5.0, Oracle 9i DBMS, Dreamwaver 2004 Mx, and also OpenSSL for addressing the security issue. | en_US |
