ThirdFactor | Government national ID card industry trends outlined by HID Global




HID Global has detailed some key trends that are sure to impact government identity programs in the coming years.

With counterfeiting and tampering proving to be an ever-present threat to security, privacy and authentication efficiency, HID Global believes that the next five years will be crucial.

In a report released by Acuity Market Intelligence, it was found that by the 2015, 85% of all issued IDs will be eIDs and the number of countries issuing eIDs will outnumber those issuing conventional IDs by four to one. The jump to eIDs is a major trend in the global market and one that, according to HID Global, is already reflected in customer demands.

HID has seen an increase in demand for multi-layered, highly secure credential solutions with multi-function capabilities. While increased security is a constant demand, the need for multiple functions – access control, proof of identity, health care and tax ID and government fee payments – is quickly becoming the norm.
