Using e-Cert on Smart ID Card
Using the e-Cert on the smart ID card in electronic transactions, such as e-banking services, secure email services and e-government services, is easy. All you need to do is to locate the public computer facilities most convenient to you, select the transaction you want, insert your smart ID card into the smart card reader, and key in your e-Cert PIN as guided on the display screen.
The public computer facilities on which the e-Cert in the smart ID card can be used are all labeled with the logo. Alternatively, you can also use your e-Cert stored in the smart ID card at home on a personal computer for greater convenience.
To access the e-Cert stored in the smart ID card, a personal computer must be equipped with a suitable smart card reader and a suite of software.
Public Facilities for Using the e-Cert on Smart ID Card
To promote the public use of information technology and electronic services, a large number of computer terminals with Internet access have been installed in public libraries, post offices, and public enquiry service centres. To facilitate citizens to use the e-Cert on their smart ID card, over 200 terminals are now equipped with smart card readers for their convenience in using the e-government services and other e-business applications. After conducting transactions at public computer facilities, please remember to collect your smart ID card from the card reader.
