Abstract (EN): With the massive migration of real world bureaucratic and business processes to the virtual world comes an ever increasing dependency on the security of the Internet infrastructure. To ensure the secure exchange of sensitive personal information and to help support the provisioning of a multitude of identity mechanisms and protocols there is an increased need for a very flexible, interoperable and user-centric Identity Management infrastructure. OpenID is a decentralized system protocol for user-centric identification and digital identity management in the Internet that is being largely deployed all over the world. In this paper we present Extended OpenID (EOID), an Identity Provider which leverages a secured OpenID 2.0 infrastructure with the recently released Portuguese Citizen Card (CC). EOID is composed by an OpenID server that uses the CC for strong authentication and a Firefox Plugin for an easier much more secure user experience.
