In October of 2002, local Omani authority, the Royal Oman Police (ROP), together with His Majesty the Sultan launched the first smart card-based citizen ID program ever to be deployed in the Middle East. Previously, the Sultan of Oman had no citizen registry in place, making it very difficult to provide efficient services for it citizens and achieve adequate identification of its population. Gemplus was awarded the contract to deliver this first Middle Eastern smart card-based identity solution, providing project management and integration, as well as services, software and cards to the Sultanate of Oman. Gemplus' goal, managing the project, is to streamline and increase the quality of public services through the automated citizen ID system. The GlobalPlatform technology employed by Gemplus includes GlobalPlatform's Card Specification v2.0.1 and Multiple Application Smart Card Management Systems Functional requirements v3.4.
