card programme.
• Mobile IDs will be issued with Nigerian vehicle registration licenses
• Mobile IDs to be issued through Nigerian Police Biometric Central Motor Registry
• Mobile IDs to be issued using HID Global Seos and goID encryption, connectivity solutions
• Resistant to man-in-the-middle, reflection, replay, device tracking attacks
• Resistant to message deletion, message reordering, message modification, message concatenation,
message insertion
• Includes anti-hacking techniques for reverse engineering, tampering, access, code injection, security
by obscurity
• Transaction are unique, cannot be cloned, recorded, replayed
• Applications include binary protection, root detection
• Mobile IDs tied to the device through specific cryptographic keys with no master keys
• Mobile IDs are only active on the registered smartphone
• Mobile IDs to be received in citizen smartphones through internet
• Multiple vehicle owners can have multiple mobile IDs on same smartphone
• Security of transaction independent of security of transport technology
• Transaction between mobile ID and verifying reader secured by Seos over the air
• Issuing infrastructure manages keys for verifying readers making them trusted end points
• Law enforcement can view mobile ID within Bluetooth access distance
• Use cases can be built around mobile IDs based on public data available
• Broad based usage to drive cross border interoperability including travel documents
pilot project developing the business
processes and initial use cases to focus
on early return on investments. Once
that is over the pilot project can migrate
into full deployment.
Mobile IDs transferred to a citizen’s
smartphone can be read by Near
Field or Bluetooth Communication
readers that have been set up by the

Seos application. For law enforcement
being able to read the mobile ID from
a citizen’s smartphone by Bluetooth
from a distance provides additional
protection. For a citizen with multiple
vehicle ownerships, being able to
have the registration licenses handy
with a smartphone is an additional
convenience. “Both of these protocols
have very different tuneable reading
distances and therefore could have
different use cases,” says Haslam.
A key active role that HID Global plays
in overall process is the encryption of the
data from the Nigerian Police Biometric
Central Motor Registry into the mobile
ID and further transfer over the internet
into the citizen smartphone. “We would
provide our own hub to provision their
