Abstract

“Since a few years ago Indonesian government began to perform the application of the concept of the internet of things (IoT). Application of the IoT by the Indonesian government aims to provide ease in identification of people or objects and their attributes so it can be used as reference data in their policy or implement some rules. Some programs have been implemented such as e-KTP (e-ID Card) program, subsidized fuel control system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, and electronic ticketing system for electric railways. Start from 2011, Indonesia Government has been implementing RFID technology for e-Identification. This program is called e-KTP which aims to realize single ID and establish complete and accurate demographic database. Indonesian e-KTP card store demographic data consisting of biographical data, signature, photograph, biometrics, and other data related to aspects of data security and card management. e-KTP refers to the standard ISO/IEC 14443A/B that works at a frequency 13,56 MHz. However, utilization of the e-KTP card is still not optimal because its utilization is not much different from the conventional ID card. This study will be discussed regarding the design and implementation of e-KTP middleware. This middleware architecture can be adopted by government or private agencies to improve their services by conduct the data collecting of customer transactions by linking the e-KTP card with the enterprise database with the specific rules. Thus the Indonesian people have truly single ID that can be used for many purposes such as for health care system, attendance management system, electronic payment system, and so on.”
