From 7-2021, 50 million cards will be issued. CCCD cards with electronic chips are considered an inevitable trend, in order to keep up with the current 4.0 technology trend along with the State’s efforts in reducing administrative procedures, contributing to the drastic reform of management. , creating favorable conditions, helping people to carry out administrative procedures and civil transactions… However, instead of supporting a right policy, some subjects sought to oppose and take advantage of them. social networks to attack, distort, and give false information to confuse public opinion about the issuance and change of CCCD… On September 3, 2020, the Prime Minister signed Decision No. 1368/QD-TTg approving the investment policy of production projects, granting and managing citizen identity, which defines the objectives of the project. The project is: Building a unified CCCD database nationwide, collecting and managing CCCD registration data automatically on information technology infrastructure to help store, retrieve, share, find information quickly and conveniently; improve the efficiency of state management of CCCD, create favorable conditions for citizens while carrying out administrative procedures and civil transactions; towards building e-Government, creating a breakthrough in socio-economic development of the whole country; contribute effectively to the fight against crime… If compared with the current ID card and CCCD, we will see that the chip-mounted CCCD has outstanding advantages. Specifically, each card is integrated with 20 residential data fields related to each individual with many accompanying applications such as: digital signature application, biometric application, one-time password application, lowering public key layer,… thereby allowing users to connect to public and private services quickly and conveniently. Not only that, the chip-mounted CCCD is manufactured using modern technology, is flexible in changing and adding personal information, has high security, helps to identify and identify accurately, so it minimizes the risk. theft or forgery to use for dark purposes. Now with the new CCCD when making transactions, individuals will not need to carry many documents (for example household registration, birth certificate, marriage registration, …) because this information is already available. stored and integrated in the card. Thanks to that, everyone has the conditions to make transactions quickly and conveniently, reducing travel time and costs for backing up and notarizing documents… Therefore, it can be affirmed that the CCCD card with a chip is a step forward in applying science and technology to state management activities, helping administrative reform effectively. This is also an important basis contributing to the realization of the goal of building an e-Government that the Party and State are setting, and the people are the beneficiaries. Not to mention, in the context of the strong development of the 4th industrial revolution, when the trend of digital transformation takes place in all fields, it becomes even more necessary to make CCCD cards with electronic chips. , contributing to the country’s quick access to the development trend in the world. In fact, the use of a chip-mounted CCCD card is the optimal choice in many countries. Statistics from the authorities show that there are about 70 countries using this card, even some countries have used CCCD chips since the 90s of the last century. Along with the development of science and technology, chip cards are increasingly effective in social life. In Estonia (Etonia), since 2002, the country has been using a chip-based CCCD card for people called ID Kaart to replace traditional identification documents. Since then, the Kaart ID has been used by people in this country to identify identities, health checks, vote elections, business registration, … as well as perform other electronic transactions. Not to mention, ID Kaart can also replace passports when people travel within the country, as well as to EU countries (European Union – European Union). Continuing to upgrade to increase security and maximize use efficiency, in September 2018, Estonian authorities put into application the Smart-ID digital identification system (providing and verifying digital identity). digital identity) using a chip that uses 384-bit ECC public key encryption and a QR Code (quick response code) for the Kaart ID. This country has set a target that by 2025 the number of e-citizens will reach 10 million, 8 times higher than the current population. Similar to Estonia, Argentina’s (Argentine) chip CCCD card named DNI integrates a lot of personal information, including credit account information. Or the CCCD card of Malaysia (Malaysia) is MyKad which integrates personal information such as passport, driver’s license, health information, … and also has the functions of electronic wallet, access ATM card access, mobile applications and PKI (for electronic transactions). Every Malaysian citizen is issued a MyKad card, but it is divided into three groups, including: MyPR (Malaysian permanent resident), MyKas (short-term resident of Malaysia) and MyKid (Malaysian citizen under 12 years old) year old). In many other countries, the CCCD chip card also integrates information related to the driver’s license (such as in Germany, Turkey, Argentina…), thereby helping to significantly reduce traffic violations; or people can use the CCCD chip in public, administrative and social services (such as in Japan, Korea,…). Grasping that inevitable trend, based on the existing conditions in terms of human resources, material resources and science – technology, in 2021, the issuance of CCCD card with official chip will be implemented synchronously by Vietnam on a large scale. country. In order to effectively implement this policy, propaganda has been promoted in the mass media. The functional agencies actively went to the villages and hamlets to mobilize people to make cards. In some agencies, units, schools, the issuance and replacement of CCCD cards is done on the spot. In localities, registered people have been given timed tickets, helping to reduce travel and waiting time. Even in some areas, the police in charge of the area also texted, went to each house to urge the card making. In many places, card making is done 24 hours a day to create the best conditions for people, especially those who are busy working during office hours, working in shifts, so time is tight… However, with the available dark purpose, the desire to restrain the development of Vietnam, the hostile forces and a number of organizations and individuals with a lack of goodwill immediately considered the implementation of the chip-based CCCD card. an opportunity to conduct countermeasures. With a hostile and extreme attitude, some subjects immediately posted misleading information and images. They blatantly claim that the installation of chips on CCCD cards is for the State to strengthen control over people, people lose their freedoms and have their privacy violated. Even blatantly slandered with the issuance of CCCD cards this time, people turned into “herd animals”, or compared “in some advanced countries, electronic chips are often attached to prisoners to serve prison sentences. stay at home”, thereby loudly saying that this is a sign of loss of “democracy and human rights”, calling on people not to cooperate with authorities, not to make CCCD cards with chips. Notably, some people because of lack of information and ignorance have rushed to believe and follow, continue to spread misinformation, malicious rumors, thereby arousing suspicion, confusion, Doubt in public opinion… It must be said that, whether intentionally distorting or unconsciously, such acts have hindered the implementation of a correct policy of the State. In order to promptly correct the above negative manifestations, in the past time, some individuals who have reported falsely about making CCCD cards with chips have been handled in accordance with the law. As at the end of last April, the police of Dak Lak province summoned Bui Thi Thanh T. (Hoa Thang commune, Buon Ma Thuot city) for posting incorrect comments about the job of CCCD. At the police station, T. admitted his work was against the law, so he deleted the comment and pledged not to repeat the offense. This is an example that people have to be very vigilant, if they don’t want to abet law violations, they need to be alert to inaccurate information, especially information of a deductive and fabricated nature. unfounded. Every citizen should always be aware and believe that the Vietnamese Party and State always strives for the legitimate rights and interests of the people. Article 3 of the Constitution (added and amended in 2013) affirms: “The State ensures and promotes the people’s right to mastery; recognize, respect, protect and guarantee human and citizen rights; realize the goal of rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization, where everyone has a prosperous, free and happy life and has conditions for comprehensive development. This principle has always been consistently expressed in all lines and guidelines of the Party, and policies and laws of the State. Attaching electronic chips to CCCD cards, too, is a policy in line with the development trend of the country, the provisions of the law, and ensuring the information security of all people. The electronic chip on the CCCD card is not for locating, not infringing on the freedom of movement and privacy of each individual. When the card is lost, due to the identification control mechanism, personal information is not disclosed, only the cardholder can activate and use it. With a clear awareness of this issue, each individual will have the right behavior, believe and seriously implement the policy of the State. It is also a practical way to protect individual and community interests and contribute to the country’s socio-economic development.
