Project Progress Update Report – 01/01/2009

Hi all,

We wish you a “Happy New Year”, on behalf of the Project eID Team.

I would like to give some latest updates on Project eID within the last couple of weeks.

  1. Shayanthan is working on the “Browser Plug-in” and “Client Application”. He is facing some difficulties in integrating it with the web service, but he is progressing on that. Malalasena is assisting him in this process of integration with web service.
  2. Ramanan is also facing some difficulties as the ordered smart cards has not arrived yet (due to the holidays there). So he is working on the Final Project Report and Research Papers mainly.
  3. Malalasena is working on the Final Project Report with Ramanan and he is also assisting me and Shayanthan in the integration process.
  4. I’m working on the “Card Creation Application” (which is almost complete) and Malalasena is also working with me in the web service part on the card creation application.

We are almost in line with the planned schedule, though we are lagging a little bit due to difficulties in intergration and availability of smart card. But we are very much certain that we are on the right track. We are also looking into some oppertunities in international competitions such as ICAMES 2009 İSTANBUL, where we might be able to present Project eID.

We keep posted on latest developments with Project eID on this blog.

Yours,
NiMaL

Meeting with Project Supervisor (4-12-2008)

We had a meeting with our project supervisor Dr.Chandana Gamage today from 10.30am to 11.05am.

We discussed about the progress of our project, and about our plans to complete the project in time.

Topics Discussed:

  • Progress Plan – How we are going to complete (Posted in our blog here)
    - Project supervisor was satisfied with our plan and encouraged us to work according to that.
  • World Summit Award (possibility of participation – http://wsa.nenasala.lk/)
    - We were asked to apply for this as this could be a good chance for us.
  • Research Papers
    - Project supervisor suggested that if we could come up with two quality papers for publishing, it would be beneficial for us in going for higher studies. So we have decided to concentrate on that as well.
  • Other topics – Buying Java Card
    - We will try to get the Java card to Sri Lanka as soon as we can. At the same time we will be focusing on the USB based eID also closely.
