A national identification numberor national identity number is used by the governments of many countries as a means of tracking their citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents for the purposes ofvarious e-governmentally-related functions. The ways in which such a system is implemented vary among countries, but in most cases citizens are issued an identification number upon reaching legal age, or when they are born.Identification is routinely used to help facilitate commercial and government transactions [1].Such as taking out a loan or applying for government benefits. While individuals can use traditional forms of identification in face-to-face transactions, these forms of identification are less useful for conducting business on the Internet. Individuals can use an National Identification System to authenticate to online services, securely communicate online, purchase goods and services, and create legally-binding electronic signatures, such as to sign a contract. The number associated with the identity of the individuals will help in different government and private institutes to uniquely identify the stakeholders of their business and services.
