However, hackers would employ techniques like identity theft or account fraud to interfere with Internet security. Hence, to maintain Internet security, the verification of Internet identity would be the basic requirement. The internet would be more secure with the use of inputting username and password directly by user. But when we use smart card to operate, for example, transfer account in banking in the Internet, we should execute all operations on the Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Using another explorer, like Mozilla Firefox, we need to install a Plugin to use it, and it takes much time to setup. Finally, there are a lot of people who still cannot use it. Now, the question is: With the Citizen Digital Certificate issued by the government, can we identify ourselves in the Internet to enhance the security mechanism and function safely? This certificate is tested as workable; furthermore, it is compatible with more than one web browser and platform. The mechanism of Internet security can be enhanced throughout this system.
