Title: HANIS PROJECT OVERVIEW


1
HANIS PROJECT OVERVIEW
DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS
  • APRIL - 2003

2
FROM BIRTH TO DEATH
  • Home Affairs keeps RECORDS of South African
    citizens from the cradle to the grave.
  • Government departments and private sector
    organisations make extensive use of the ID
    number.
  • Home Affairs plays a pivotal role in identity
    verification of citizens both for the public and
    private sectors.

3
REASONS FOR CONSIDERING A NEW IDENTIFICATION
SYSTEM
  • Present document is abused (fraud).
  • It is easily forged.
  • Manufacture is time consuming.
  • To produce it a variety of materials are used.
  • By many it is no longer regarded as absolute
    proof of identity.
  • Thus, a new national ID system had to be
    considered, namely HANIS.

4
REASONS FOR CONSIDERING A NEW IDENTIFICATION
SYSTEM
  • Over the years there have been various approaches
    to the verification of identity
  • Something you owned (royal seal, ID document).
  • Something you knew (PIN, password).
  • Something inherent to you (fingerprint, iris
    print, voice print).
  • There have also been combinations (card PIN).

5
WHAT IS HANIS?
  • HANIS stands for Home Affairs National
    Identification System.
  • A basic national identification system normally
    consists of
  • - A Population Register,
  • - A means by which individuals can be
  • identified and verified,
  • - An ID document.
  • The components of a national ID system are
    usually integrated into a single super system.

6
ORIGINAL HANIS SYSTEM OBJECTIVES
  • Issue an ID card to each and every South African.
  • Ensure that only one ID is issued to each
    individual (identification process).
  • Re-issue of lost ID cards.
  • Hard copy identity verification, based on paper
    request form.
  • Provide on-line and off-line identity
    verification, for the public and private sectors.

7
IN SOUTH AFRICA
  • A Population Register already existed.
  • A biometric, namely fingerprints, has been
    adopted as a means whereby individuals can be
    identified. In the HANIS the same biometric is
    used to verify the identity of a person. This
    portion of the HANIS is known as the Automated
    Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).
  • It has been decided that what is known as a smart
    card will be used as the ID document of choice
    (often also referred to as a Secure Electronic
    National Identity Card SENIC).

8
HANIS BACKGROUND
  • Planning for a new identification system started
    in the early 90s of the previous century.
  • The HANIS project started in 1996 with the
    release of a tender for an automated fingerprint
    system (AFIS), a two dimensional barcode ID card
    and system integration.
  • Tender was awarded in January 1999.
  • In 2000, HANIS implementation was officially
    launched.
  • Shortly after, the card portion was removed from
    the contract, pending an investigation into smart
    card technology. The AFIS portion of the
    contract continued.

9
HANIS BACKGROUND (TENDER PROCESS DETAILS Slide
1)
  • Tender published 6 December 1996.
  • Tender closed 20 March 1997.
  • Thirteen (13) tenders were received and after
    detailed evaluation, 5 were short listed, with
    approval of STB. As a result of December 1997
    recess and some companies being foreign, this
    process could only be concluded in January 1998.
  • The 5 were then allowed to further present on
    their proposals and questions were posed by
    officials as part of a second round of evaluation.

10
HANIS BACKGROUND (TENDER PROCESS DETAILS Slide
2)
  • From the 5 a final short list of 2 consortiums
    were drawn up.
  • On 31 March 1998 officials departed on a 2 month
    bench marking trip.
  • On their return, bench mark results were
    extensively evaluated and a recommendation made
    to STB.
  • STB awarded the contract to Marpless in January
    1999 and work immediately commenced.
  • Final negotiated contract was signed in November
    1999.

11
HANIS BACKGROUND cont.
  • Investigation into smart card technology has
    included technical visits to a number of
    countries (Malaysia, Finland, France, Belgium,
    Germany), where this technology is used and
    similar projects have been undertaken.
  • Investigation also included an RFI, released in
    2000.
  • Findings were forwarded to Cabinet, recommending
    approval of the smart ID card component of the
    HANIS project, based on extended objectives for
    HANIS.

12
EXTENDED HANIS OBJECTIVES
  • The extended HANIS objectives were
  • To provide a smart card technology base for use
    by various government departments.
  • To use this standardised smart card platform to
    provide government services.
  • To ensure the ability to add new government
    services after issue of the smart ID card
    (without re-issue of the card).
  • To integrate a payment application for the
    payment of state pensioners and beneficiaries in
    conjunction with the Department of Social
    Development, as well as the integration of
    additional applications, as required by the
    respective departments.

13
CABINET MEMORANDUM APPROVAL
  • The cabinet approved, in principle, on the 25th
    of July 2001
  • Implementation of a national smart ID card
    project for the country.
  • A new national smart ID card as the platform for
    integration of relevant government services
    centered around electronic identification of
    citizens to ensure interoperability, common
    standards and the elimination of duplication.
  • Integration of the Department of Social
    Developments state pension payment application
    as the first additional application on the smart
    ID card.

14
HANIS BACKGROUND CONT.
  • The Haysom Commission was set up in 2001 to
    advise the Minister on the smart ID card project.
  • The then Department of Arts, Culture, Science and
    Technology (DACST) was involved in discussions on
    the project.
  • Various other inputs were considered.
  • This resulted in a joint Cabinet Memorandum.

15
JOINT CABINET MEMO
  • Requested approval for
  • Funding for the smart ID card project.
  • Public tender procurement.
  • Tender be broken into three separate tenders
  • Main tender (card)
  • Personalisation centre
  • Terminals
  • Future addition of other departments
    applications.

16
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP)
  • Cabinet referred the memorandum to National
    Treasury for advice.
  • National Treasury suggested to the Department
    that a comprehensive HANIS PPP study should be
    done to enable them to advise Cabinet and made
    available R15 million for the study (2003/04).

17
PROGRESS ON HANIS
  • POPULATION REGISTER
  • Fully operational (but very old)
  • AFIS
  • Basic system commissioned on 18 February 2002.
  • Basic system operational on 27 August 2002.
  • Approximately 600 000 records have been captured
    on the ID card application database.
  • Approximately 38 000 on the case files database.
  • An average of 6 000 records added per day.

18
ISSUES REQUIRING ATTENTION
  • No new ID document (card) yet.
  • Sparsely populated AFIS database.
  • Daily capturing rate for AFIS database too low.
  • Concrete system value from AFIS yet to be seen.
  • Serious staff shortages due to resignations.

19
SHORT TERM STRATEGY (TO ADDRESS ISSUES)
  • To populate the AFIS database faster, the
    Department intends to undertake an intelligent
    Back Record Conversion process.
  • This process consists of capturing existing
    manual records onto the database.
  • A system is being developed to provide remote
    on-line identity verification services for the
    public and private sectors.
  • It is envisaged that a Call Centre will be
    established in association with the remote
    verification service.

20
SHORTER TERM STRATEGY (TO ADDRESS ISSUES) -
CONTINUED
WAYS AND MEANS MUST BE FOUND TO SHORTEN THE TIME
LINE FOR THE PPP PROCESS!
21
PPP PROCESS TIME LINE
22
FINANCIAL HISTORY OF HANIS
  • Contracted amount R930.248 million, signed in
    November 1999.
  • Initial contracted amount has been affected by
    removal of card component, CPI and FOREX
    Estimated total cost now R1.455 billion.
  • As of February 2003, approximately R 807 million
    has been spent
  • 86 of amount on equipment,
  • 13 on services,
  • 1 on personnel, administration and inventories.

23
ID CARD PROJECT PROGRESS
  • Cabinet approved the use of the smart ID card as
    a platform for integration of government services
    in July 2001.
  • Agreement was obtained from industry on standards
    regarding the smart ID card and fingerprint
    format (workshop agreements EMV level 1 and 2
    with the banks, ARP054 drafted by SABS).
  • A supplementary RFI was released to industry on
    19 August 2002 with a closing date of 6 September
    2002.
  • At present PPP process.

24
SMART ID CARD PROJECT MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
  • Steering committee consisting of
    director-generals from different departments.
    This committee meets when required to discuss
    management and strategy issues regarding the
    smart ID card project.
  • Interdepartmental technical committee (IDTC)
    consists of representatives of different
    departments that discuss technical and
    integration issues around the smart ID card
    project on a monthly basis.
  • Separate ongoing meetings take place between Home
    Affairs and other departments (to identify their
    requirements for the smart ID card), as well as
    Treasury.

25
SMART ID CARD SOME AIMS
  • The issue of a Smart ID Card to all eligible
    South African citizens.
  • Estimated number 30 Million.
  • Life span of the ID card approx. 10 years.
  • Payment application on the Smart ID Card from
    start.
  • Integration of government services.

26
CURRENT TRUTHS
  • ID card forms integral part of HANIS.
  • The current ID book remains the target of fraud
    as it is easily forged.
  • ID card information created through AFIS is
    backed up in storage and is becoming outdated by
    the day.
  • It is imperative that an ID card be issued in the
    shortest possible time without overlooking the
    financial implications and other important
    factors.

27
ESTIMATED SMART ID CARD TOTAL COST
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT ITEM GROSS COST (R millions)
Smart ID cards (30 million over 5 years) 1710,0
Infrastructure costs (for 10 years) 100,0
Personalisation Centre 50,0
General project costs 25,4
TOTAL COST 1885,4
Estimated at R56 per card
