The Open eID project provides a pure Java implementation of the protocols PACE, Terminal Authentication and Chip Authentication which are used by the infrastructure of the new German ID cards. This project furthermore provides an Android eID client implementation.

This project originated from the EU project UbiPOL (UbiPOL at Sourceforge).

Fraunhofer also developed an eID server for testing purposes which is currently closed source, but might become open source in the future.

With the new German ID cards citizens are able to provide sensitive personal data electronically in a very secure way while keeping full control over this data to service providers enabling new services or bringing higher security and usability to existing services. On the other hand service providers benefit from trustworthy and reliable user data.
