"See my Personal Data"/ Identify Service
(Governikus GmbH & Co. KG on behalf of the Federal Office for Information Security)
The AusweisApp has the function "See my personal data / Identify". With this function the data stored on the identity card, the electronic residence permit or the eID card can be read and displayed. Here we also speak of a so-called self-disclosure.
As soon as the AusweisApp is started and a suitable card reader is installed or an smartphone is connected, this function can be called up under the menu item "Identify".
After the PIN entry and successful data transfer, the data is displayed in the AusweisApp.
The self-disclosure is a pure demonstration service. The read out data is only brought to the announcement and is not passed on. The data is not stored at the Governikus KG. The user can save the data as a PDF file on his terminal device. The verification of the data takes place via the respective eID server to which the service accesses. On the eID server, the authorization certificates are administered and revocation lists are kept. The server takes over the secure communication with the AusweisApp and the identity card and forwards the read out data to the service.
It determines the authenticity and validity of the identity card, checks whether it has been blocked by the card holder and transmits the results of the online card function to the other systems of the service provider.
For the identity comparison via the eID server, there must always be an Internet connection so that the comparison can take place and the data can be transmitted in encrypted form. This is necessary in order to carry out the cryptographic protocols with the chip of the identity card and to regularly receive the necessary authorization certificates and revocation lists.
The eID server always complies with the current technical guidelines of the BSI. This ensures that the state of the art is mapped.
Access to the data on the identity card, the electronic residence permit or the eID card is only possible if the person who wants to access the data first identifies himself uniquely. This is done using the authorization certificate. It is always displayed who wants to access your data. Permission to obtain an authorisation certificate is granted to a service provider upon application and after verification at the Federal Administration Office's issuing office for authorisation certificates. In order to display the technical authorization certificate and to be able to carry out a validity check of the ID document, an Internet connection is absolutely necessary. For this reason, one also speaks of the eID function. Further details on how the eID function works can be found here.
Application, database server and HSM are located in the following computer center: BREKOM GmbH, Am Weser-Terminal 1, 28217 Bremen
