Abstract:

Based on the current research of user-centric identity management mechanism and technology, a new user-centric identity authentication system on mobile Internet platform named ID-Vcard was proposed and implemented on the Android platform. In the system of ID-Vcard, user can manage and use own identity information in the form of virtual card. In the process of authentication, it takes the advantage of the user’s and IdP’s digital certificates to authenticate users on RP. ID-Vcard has good usability in mobile platform because users can manage their identity information by virtual cards. In addition, it tries to reduce and eliminate the username／password authentication method.

Key words: user; identity authentication; virtual card; mobile platform
