In the Chamber, Célio Ribeiro states that the structure of the CIN is fundamental to combat fraud and the abduction of newborns
This Wednesday, August 30, the date marked as the International Day of the Missing Person, the Joint Parliamentary Front for the Guarantee of the Right to Identity (FrenID) promoted a Public Hearing with the aim of debating Brazil’s Identification Program. The main focus of the meeting was neonatal identification and the fight against the abduction of children and adolescents throughout the national territory. The event, chaired by Federal Deputy Flávia Morais (PDT-GO), general coordinator of FrenID, took place at the Social Security, Social Assistance, Childhood, Adolescence and Family Commission. The audience was attended by several specialists and authorities, including the director-president of the International Institute of Identification (InterID), Célio Ribeiro. With almost 30 years of dedication to the subject of identification in Brazil, Ribeiro emphasized that the International Day of the Missing Person is not a date for commemorations, but for deep reflections on the national reality. “Today we have newborn children being taken from maternity hospitals for human trafficking. The project for the National Identity Card (CIN) puts an end to several problems, from gaps in the amount of billions of reais in Social Security, to the abduction of children”. The director-president of InterID pointed out that the issue of identification goes beyond numbers and statistics. “A single child separated from his family is much more serious than the resources diverted with identification fraud”, he declared, concluding with a request to the legislative house: “This house needs to be attentive, working together with the Federal Executive, and joining forces to that there is a professional structure dedicated to the theme of identification in Brazil”. The debate reinforced the need for solid inter-institutional cooperation to ensure significant advances in identifying and protecting citizens, especially children and adolescents in vulnerable situations. The hearing promoted by FrenID not only highlighted the urgency of talking about identification in Brazil, but also reinforced the need for concrete action to guarantee the basic right to identity for all Brazilians. Finally, Célio Ribeiro made an appeal directed to Pedro Pontual, who occupies the positions of general coordinator of the Federal Executive Chamber of Citizen Identity (CEFIC) and deputy executive secretary of the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic. Ribeiro requested that Pontual intervene in favor of the creation of a specific structure dedicated to the National Identity Card (CIN) project, emphasizing the importance of this measure for the success and effectiveness of the project in question.

Célio Ribeiro highlights the urgency of implementing the National Identification System at InterForensics 2023
This Wednesday, August 30, the CEO of the International Institute of Identification (InterID), Célio Ribeiro, spoke during the International Conference on Forensic Sciences (InterForensics 2023), in Brasília-DF. Ribeiro highlighted the vital importance of rapidly deploying the necessary infrastructure for the effective functioning of the National Identification System. “Without a robust National Identification System, crucial projects such as the National Identity Card (CIN) will remain mere proposals”, warned Ribeiro. He pointed out that, in an increasingly digitized and interconnected world, the lack of a unified identification system jeopardizes not only individual security, but also compromises initiatives in sectors such as health, education and public safety. One of the highlights of the presentation was when Célio Ribeiro addressed a cause that he himself described as a “life mission”: the removal and exchange of babies in maternity hospitals. “Unfortunately, we still live in a situation in Brazil where children disappear from maternity hospitals due to human trafficking”, he lamented. Ribeiro argued that the introduction of an advanced civil identification system, which includes the correct biometric relationship between mother and newborn, could drastically reduce such incidents. “If we can accurately identify each newborn at the moment of their birth, we will be taking a giant step towards eradicating this type of crime”, he explained. The date of the lecture was not chosen at random. The 30th of August marks the International Day of Missing Persons, a human drama that affects thousands of families around the world. “The suffering of a family that does not know the whereabouts of a loved one could be largely mitigated with an effective public policy in the area of identification”, pointed out the CEO. On the occasion, the General Coordinator of Civil Identification of the Digital Government Secretariat, Eduardo Lacerda, also spoke, who addressed the Civil Identification Program in Brazil, highlighting issued CIN numbers and how the absence of a robust identity document affects public coffers and the safety of the population.
Commission will debate new national identity card
The Committee on Pensions, Social Assistance, Childhood, Adolescence and Family of the Chamber of Deputies promotes a public hearing this Wednesday (30) to discuss Brazil’s Identification Program. The request for holding the debate was presented by deputy Flávia Morais (PDT-GO). She emphasizes the importance of secure identification to prevent the exchange and kidnapping of children and adolescents and mitigate the drama of missing persons. For Flávia Morais, the new National Identity Card (CIN), with the broad participation of all federal entities, is the solution to problems that have dragged on for decades in Brazil. “Brazil is the only country in Latin America and among the 20 largest economies in the world, with the exception of the United States and the United Kingdom, that does not have a civil identification program and structure. Even countries with a GDP smaller than Brazil, such as Indonesia, Angola and Mozambique, structured their civil identification programs to eradicate the aforementioned ills”, lamented the deputy. Among others were invited: – the president of the International Identification Institute, Célio Ribeiro;– the titular judge of the 2nd Juvenile Court of Recife Élio Braz Mendes;– the secretary of health and environment surveillance at the Ministry of Health, Ethel Leonor Noia Maciel;– the national secretary for the promotion and defense of human rights of the Ministry of Human Rights, Isadora Brandão Araujo da Silva;– the Deputy Executive Secretary of the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic, Pedro Pontual;– the Papilloscopist of the Civil Police of the Federal District Rafael Perseghini Del Sarto;– the digital government secretary of the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Rogério Souza Mascarenhas. The meeting will take place at 4 pm, in plenary 7. Check out the complete list of guests. Source: News Chamber Agency
ABRID participates in meeting on modernization of ICP-Brasil
The Brazilian Association of Digital Identification Technology Companies (ABRID) met today at the National Institute of Information Technology (ITI) with entities from the digital certification sector to discuss the modernization of the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICP-Brasil). The meeting aimed to address critical developments in the area. ABRID’s executive president, Célio Ribeiro, represented the organization. One of the main proposals presented during the meeting was the need to establish a new certification chain to replace the V5 chain that is about to expire. With the V5 chain set to expire in March 2029, the urgency of issuing one was highlighted. Failure to do so by March 2024 could result in an inability to issue 5-year digital certificates to end users. Another significant point discussed was the change in certification policies. ITI intends to take this opportunity to redesign them while introducing enhanced security measures. One of the changes includes the elimination of the A1 digital certificate for individuals, restricting users to A3 or cloud digital certification options. A notable proposition presented during the meeting was the transformation of the Legal Entity’s digital certificate into an Electronic Seal. Currently, the digital certificate of this type includes personal data of the individual responsible for the organization. The ITI aims to change this practice, taking inspiration from the European model known as the Electronic Seal. This change would replace the concept of “digital signature” and would continue to guarantee the authenticity of digital documents such as electronic invoices, for example. In addition, discussions revolved around a new system for recognizing SSL/TLS certificates by web browsers. Currently, a Certificate Authority (CA) must be accredited by the CA/Browser Forum for browsers to recognize its certificates. Despite previous attempts by Brazil to include its model in the repository, success has remained elusive. ITI now proposes that each AC accredited in ICP-Brasil independently seek this recognition. Once achieved, ITI would then approve the CA to issue SSL/TLS certificates. This change will solve the problem of finding suspicious websites, ensuring safer browsing. In his remarks, ABRID’s Executive President emphasized the critical importance of looking to the future and seeking lasting solutions while, at the same time, maintaining security and legal validity, very strong characteristics of ICP-Brasil. “You have to look forward. If ICP-Brasil has existed for 22 years, it is because it had the ability to respond to the challenges imposed at its time. In order for it to celebrate even more years, it is necessary to adopt not just a vision or a schedule, but an effective series of actions that modernize it and place it at the very best in the universe of digital signature technologies”, highlighted Célio Ribeiro.

The media has persistently highlighted these difficulties, including exchanges newborns in maternity hospitals, alarming cases of kidnapping of children and adolescents, significant underreporting and the subsequent loss of control over deaths in the country. of identification from the first moments of life”, he commented.
