ELECTRONIC DRIVING LICENCE WITH POINTS ON SMART CARD

1 Basic Concept

To allow to each car and automotive driver the right and the possibility to own, carry and access at any moment, anywhere without any mean of specialized intervention, his driving status and overall driving file history.

5 While incredible advances are continually made in the delivery of driver information, the road traffic field still suffers from a lack of integrated information as controllers, security researchers for road traffic prevention of accidents, and countries struggle to share knowledge across sites and countries. Is a unique concept-based technology that makes driving information knowledge more

10 accessible and usable whenever and wherever it is needed. The dynamic, comprehensive terminology has numerous benefits for drivers, controllers, security agencies enterprises and life saving organisations.

• Enables consistent coding of driving history concepts, leading to more complete and accurate information.

15 • Improves co-ordination of driver driving information and road control agent.

• Provides access to important information that might otherwise be buried among paper records.

• Helps ensure comparability of data recorded by multiple road control agents across diverse and often incompatible area platforms and systems.

20 • Enables flexible queries and the complete, consistent recall needed for better workflow management and strategic information support.

• Enables more accurate billing through reduced vulnerability to miscoding.

• Facilitates progress toward the electronic record information.

Security concept on data storage and manipulation.

Hardware: Based on a credit card size media industry standard equipped with a processor regardless his brand of processor called Smartcard using a memory of 8 __ Kbytes or more ,

Digital storage: Digital photo of owner, ID data, medical emergency data, licence info, 103 traffic offences and an optional application.

Functions: The data are stored on the memory area of the Chip, in separate files, each „ with different encryption and pin-codes. In this way we can achieve maximum protection of privacy for the owner. Every consultation is only possible with the appropriate access of the control-card and the pin-code of the owner. This gives the guarantee that the police can't consult the data. There is also a pin-code for the police agent system, so if the PDA or the computer system is unguarded for a short time it puts itself in safe mode, and before reactivating you need the initial access code. Three invalid attempts will result that the software on the PDA erasing itself and the card will be put on non-active, protecting the system against hacking.

45 Once the login procedure is fulfilled the program will ask to insert a driver licence. As soon as the card is inserted, the driver's picture and the ID data are displayed on the screen. This makes it virtually impossible to cheat, because the policeman can compare the face of the driver to the picture he has on the screen and the photo on the driver's licence. Further selection has to be made with one of the tabs on the bottom, every selection will open a pull down menu.

The first tab (fig. 6) contains the medical data: this gives the blood group, medical contra-indications, implants, etc. Also important phone numbers are stored to contact in case of accident, and the relation of these persons to the holder. Next the codicil, religion and the way of terminating life in case of terminal coma. The next tab (fig. 7) gives the class of the licence and the kind of vehicle the holder may drive. It goes for all sections that the presentation on the screen is always in the language of the person who is retrieving data. Except for the name and address of the holder the data are translated to the selection activated by the key-card.

Next is the list of violations. Every violation is recorded on date- time, place, kind of violation, and the authority and person who has dealt with the record and the amount of points this item cost. Expired records are automatically removed.

Next tab (fig. 8) makes it possible to add new records of violation. To use this function the system will ask again for the code of the police agent. The location must be entered, if this is not given by the office of the agent, by means of his key card. The selection of offences can be made from the database on the hard-drive of the PDA. This makes it possible by making a few selections, without typing, to enter all necessary data. Now the data are recorded on the licence and when the agent logs out all violations he has being recorded are also transferred to his key card. He only has to check out with his card at the office and ail data are processed to the central computer. All data are encrypted and labeled with a header who also includes the card-number of every recorded driver's licence, which has been checked, so that nobody can use a replaced card.

On offence the driver can get a printed ticket of his offence. The data are transferred wireless to the police car where the printer is installed. In case of discussion a violation can only be cleared after decision of the authorized court with a special keycard.

In case a card is lost, a new card will be issued with all existing information out of the central database.

Issuing new cards is made very simple and can be done at a local police station (fig.3). The software is completely menu-driven and can be used even by non-computer experts. Advantage of the system: By using a digital photo the system is difficult to counterfeit.

Fast checkup and registration of violating drivers. No errors in data entry and no extra processing time.

After proper identification the data can go trough the secure way (crypt-decrypt) or flow much faster using the DMA channel.

In case of DMA the processor will allocate an area of the memory free for access, then reading or writing can be process in this case data is not passing through the encrypting process. In other case data is retrieve out of memory then the personal encryption key code will apply-in and scramble. It is very interesting and useful to transfer data to a central storage device to be processed.

Prior to be resented though the encrypting processor, access to data is being denied before it is restored within its proper key. This gives the possibility to swap data without any loss of safety of the key's proper information by using temporarily the memory capacity of the Chip. The SmartCard Structure: See figure : 1

Security Concept Application Structure: See figure : 5

Achieving a secure way to process the Driving Licence trough reader writer devices. A Software pilot monitors the computer Ports channel to detect if an eventual insertion. In the event that a SmartCard is connected the pilot detect is type, characteristics and is ID and determine if they are valid, then signal its presence to the program that start decrypting process of the controller personal data. This data is encrypted with the encryption technology using a time out. The hidden key-ID is unique for every driver the data is always sent in blocks of equal length, but key dependent, in different sequence. Every block has a check sum for integrity.

The data can be different for every block to go, in different steps for up counting or down counting sequence, depending on a control word, send in the beginning of the sequence, and processed with the key number. The system is using a matrix of 256 numbers, who can be used in variable sequence, for coding and decoding the data, this sequence depends on the key number, the check sum and the control word in combination of the key ID type. Data regeneration can only be processed in the proper key in order to secure information's stored within the key it self, this data is encrypted and has always the same block length, making it temper proof.

The build-in Crypto-Processor will reconvert the data into a readable text when both SmartCards, Driver and Road Controller are connected trough the computer system. The Administrator key is used for creating the different type of SmartCard, also permits data recuperation and verification in case of lose or data corruption.

SmartCard Using Microchip Secure Data Storage

Because only the holder of the SmartCard may expose the data we can use a unique base figure for every SmartCard. This is more safe then PKI, you need no public key for encryption. There is only one central data base where the double of every SmartCard data is stored so in case of defect or lost a new SmartCard can be made with the recovered data of the backup media

Pipe Line Techniques All data must go transit trough the Crypto-processor. The data is always encrypted going this way. This gives the security by making backups. In case of processing large amount of data, data is always process within the SmartCard, This guaranty of maximum security. Because every SmartCard has its own encryption protocol the data can only be used in its proper SmartCard. the key can be used to process data, block by block so there is virtually no limit on file length. This with the guaranty of maximum security. After job done the standard data is swapped again in the key. Because every key has its own encryption protocol the data can only be used in its proper key. Security Techniques Using Personal Encrypted Variable Hidden Key.

Above the standard encryption the data is always transferred at standard block length. So it is impossible to find the beginning or end of the data in this block. Every block has its own hidden key. The place where this key is hidden is different for every block. This key is telling the construction of the block, the offset for the beginning, left or right reading and the binary bite manipulation.

Electronic Driving Communication Concept See (fig. 3)

Achieving an Internet communication way. Local communication framework is a concept shown in (fig. 3) how a local framework of card distribution and information communication transfer and online data update and transfer trough the Internet that will backup and maintain in a secure way the user individual page to store the driver history and remain point within the card in away allowing the authority to maintain a precis and temper proof the veracity and the exactitude of the point.

Global communication framework is a concept See (fig. 4)

Access to the backup internet portal in being generally granted only the authority using their special administration SmartCard with valid identification.

In case of loss of the driver's SmartCard the authority will request to the administrator to issue a new Smartkey.
