AusweisApp 2.4.1, published by the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik), serves as the official client for activating and using the eID function embedded in the Federal Republic of Germany’s national ID card, electronic residence permit, and eID card. The application enables citizens and residents to read the cryptographically secured data stored on the RFID chip of these documents and to transmit only the attributes explicitly released by the cardholder to an online service provider, thereby fulfilling Know-Your-Customer requirements for internet banking, tax portals, university enrollment, postal identity verification, or other administrative procedures that demand a legally compliant digital proof of identity. Communication between the chip and the service is channelled through TLS-secured interfaces and adheres to the eIDAS technical specifications, so the transmitted data remains encrypted and is never cached locally. Since its initial release, the program has passed ten iterative versions, each refining compatibility with current operating systems, extending support for additional secure card readers and NFC-enabled smartphones, and streamlining the PIN-entry workflow to reduce user errors. The software is categorized under Security & Privacy tools and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
