Identity and Access Management


ChallengeRedesign the tools, both online and offline, that allow the common citizen to interact with his Citizen Card of the Portuguese Republic. Namely, the tools provide for viewing data on the card, changing PINs and address and signing documents. The online component can be integrated in any site thus allowing a citizen to authenticate using only his Card. A zero-installation experience is a paramount requirement.

Linkare works mainly on the online Java components, on which it has a fundamental role.The technological solution is composed of two Java Applets described via JNLP which can dynamically select native libraries appropriate to the enviroment in which they are running. Native libraries provide PKCS#11 service which are invoked through JNI. One of Applets, via a wrapper, uses the PKCS#11 API to manipulate de data on the Card. The other Applet, makes use of a Java Provider to create SSL sessions signed by Card thus allowing authentication with remote sites.

Technology:- Java SE 6, Java Applets, JNLP, PKCS#11, JNI, SSL, SAML

Migration to Subversion (SVN)


Allowing II, IP, “Instituto Informático, Instituto Público do Ministério do Trabalho e da Segurança Social” (Information Technologies, Public Institute of the Labor and Social Security Ministry) to upgrade their NC (nonconformities) control systems (TrackRecord), and also strenghtening the change logs associated to each task, allowing for the separation of duties – Project Management, Analysis, Development, Accreditation and Operating Systems.

2009 - 2010Public Administration - National

The management solution of former TrackRecord did not foresee the possibility of active cooperation between the various elements of the project teams. On the other hand, multiple NCs databases, did not allow for a proper inter-project operation, nor an integrated view of the various systems. The productivity of the previous tool was also relatively low, with reduced flexibility and integration capabilities with other systems.

Technology:- Apache Web Server- Bugzilla - Perl CGI- Integration with MS Active Directory
