  Electronic Identification (eID) is becoming commonplace in several European
countries. eID is typically used to authenticate to government e-services, but
is also used for other services, such as public transit, e-banking, and
physical security access control. Typical eID tokens take the form of physical
smart cards, but successes in merging eID into phone operator SIM cards show
that eID tokens integrated into a personal device can offer better usability
compared to standalone tokens. At the same time, trusted hardware that enables
secure storage and isolated processing of sensitive data have become
commonplace both on PC platforms as well as mobile devices.
  Some time ago, the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) released the version 2.0 of
the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specification. We propose an eID architecture
based on the new, rich authorization model introduced in the TCGs TPM 2.0. The
goal of the design is to improve the overall security and usability compared to
traditional smart card-based solutions. We also provide, to the best our
knowledge, the first accessible description of the TPM 2.0 authorization model.
