RFID

I was searching about technology called RFID when i saw it was applied in dubai jewellery some stores for damas for tests . i think it still not in production .

News from 2006 alittle bit old

The Video can see it here

When i went to the gitex 2007 i asked many company that deals with point of sales that they were showing the RFID solution for jewellery shops . They didnt recommend me to take the system because the RFID tag cost about 1$ which was costly comparing to barcode label even if i can recycle the tags in case RFID .

When i came back to kuwait also asking some companies about the RFID solution they said to me it is still under testing here in kuwait (not there yet) .

we will see this technology in the feature i think every where :) .

What is PIN and Password?

A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a 4 digit number used to authenticate a PIN holder with a valid Civil-Id number.

- Any citizen who is resident in Kuwait and is over 18 years of age is entitled to a PIN.

- An 8 character alpha/numeric password is issued with every PIN, to enable the PIN holder to activate or change the PIN number.

What does PIN authentication mean?

PIN Authentication is an electronic process enables a Civil-Id holder to have the facility to use online information from a Private or Governmental Organization via the Internet.

The PIN will be authenticated against the PIN holder’s Civil-Id Number, if the authentication is successful, the individual will be granted access to the information.

The combination of PIN, Password and Civil-Id Number give the individual single point access from the Internet to several Government Ministries and Public Authority applications.

How do I get my PIN?

The PIN is obtained by visiting the PACI offices in South Surra.

By presenting a valid Civil-Id card a PACI representative will process the request and issue a computer generated PIN and PASSWORD..

This will be delivered in a sealed envelope and should not be viewed by anyone other than the owner.

I got my password from InfoConnect exhibition and i login

2- Ministry Of Education
Link is not working but i heard from the radio that the manager of PACI said that they will work it out with MOE .

And Also they are looking forward to make their service work with MOI
Because i also saw that giving passwords for public to access some service for “Preventing travel Inquiry” using :
username: user_CivilID
pass:*****
I think that it is better to use SSI (Single Sign On) using PACI system.
