France Identité Numérique authentication programme

Awarded Status as of 8 September 2021 · Funding type: Not published

IDEMIA announced its selection for France's national digital identity programme in September 2021 1. Its release describes smartphone authentication using the chip in the national identity card, with the citizen's consent. It presents ANSSI certification as a future step, so this entry does not count a completed certification or audit clearance. The programme director's quoted objective was to prevent transactions being centralised or traced 1. That statement is not the full contract. Award price, procurement route, service duration, contractual data controls and subsequent delivery remain unconfirmed here.
