The "neo natura" project is a fictional goverment that is set on a island.
Neo Natura ID Card (NNID)
The neo natura id card is a smart card (credit card with microprocessor) that handles money transactions, identification, communication, and other misc needs. The top side of the card is a layer of e-paper which acts as the screen display. Underneath the e-paper is a highly sensitive "touchscreen" pad. The bottom side is blank. The electronic components that make up the card are layered peices of special paper that has had a circuit printed onto it. The exception to this is the memory stick, RFID transponder antenna, processor, liquid battery, and a video card/chip to handle processing the e-paper. The card is laminated in order to provide a small level of protection. Estimated life span is aproximately a year, but most of the components in a card can be reused.
The card is embedded with an access ID which is registered with a goverment computer. When not in use the card will show a UPC symbol on it's display that represents the access ID. In order to activate
the card the UPC symbol is scanned by a vendor computer the user wishes to interact with (vendor POS, bank, etc). The vendor computer then sends an initialization to the card specifying who it is and what it wants (i am a pete's clothing store and i want $5 for a dress). Most operations will require the user to register as a particular identity. In order to register your identity you push your thumb down onto the card. The thumb print is encoded as a series of number known as a registration ID. The card then sends the registration ID to the vendor computer; which in turn inquires about the identity of the access ID plus registration ID from a goverment computer. A individual ID is then sent back to the vendor computer which can then be used to initiate a bank transaction, identity verification, etc.
