Requirements for a new Peruvian electronic identity card

In this article, we present a list of 51 technical requirements for a new Peru’s national electronic identity (eID) card, grouped on four categories: general, card, hardware (subdivided into the antenna, chip, and memory), and software (subdivided into the operating system, applications, middleware, and complements). Their definition was based on features of the current eID card, the existing international standards, and the current state of technology. Their relevance was validated by RENIEC specialist personnel, and their usefulness was validated in practice, being the base of an international public tender for the acquisition of three million cards.
