Special functions
"Access using a pseudonym" and "verification of age and address"
In order to guarantee that no more personal data than absolutely necessary are transmitted, the electronic residence title is equipped with special functions that permit communication without transmitting data.
Access using a pseudonym
Access using a pseudonym is provided for repeat registering with on-line services for which users log in with an existing user profile (e.g. e-mail account, on-line shops) and for services for which no personal data are necessary.
The electronic residence title chip produces a special identifier with which users can identify themselves but that does not enable their personal data to be accessed. This procedure, together with using the 6-digit secret number (PIN), is just as simple as the usual way to log on but is significantly more secure.
Verification of age and address
Some services may only be used by those who have attained a particular age or are registered as living at a particular address. The electronic residence title can confirm your age or address without making other details public. Only a simple "yes" or "no" will be transmitted.
