1. What is Mikey Platform?
1. 1. Overview
The Mykey Platform is a platform that utilizes the functions of Japanese Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) and utilizes My Number Card for administrative services that use Internet-connected systems.
Currently, the MIKEY Platform is used to use My Number Card as a library card by linking MIKEY IDs (* 1) and library user numbers and registering them on the MIKEY Platform.
* 1 This is a unique identifier issued to users of the My Key Platform. It is issued in response to the issuance number of the My Number Card for user certification of the electronic certification and is used as a key to identify users in order to provide various services and Individual Number Card Point of the My Key Platform.
1.2. Characteristics of the Mikey platform
The features of the MIKEY platform are as follows.
- For municipal library services only
- Can be used by introducing "My Key Platform, etc. Utilization Software" provided by Digital Agency, eliminating the need to modify existing systems that provide administrative services (WindowsOS only)
- Compatible with My Number Card Kazashi
*Please refer to the table below for a comparison with the My Key Platform for the realization of the Citizen Card Initiative described below.
1.3. Implementation Procedures
The implementation steps are:
- Contact Contact for further information
- Use the My Number Card as a user card for public facilities, etc. Obtain the operation manual from the and check the necessary procedures and manuals.
- Download the "Software for Using MyKey Platform"
- Install the "My Key Platform, etc. Utilization Software" on the local government's terminal and make the necessary settings.
*It is possible to use without any renovation of the system that provides administrative services.
2. What is the MIKEY platform for the realization of the citizen card concept?
2.1. Overview
In Digital Agency, in order to promote the "Citizen Card Initiative," the My Key Platform was upgraded to make it more convenient to use it for a wide range of municipal services, including library services.
The MYKEY platform for the realization of the Citizen Card concept provides the function of paying out unique user identifiers (PPID (* 2)) for each service, ensuring security in My Number Card use and enabling My Number Card use for multiple services.
In addition, in order for Japanese Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) to be used in various situations in administrative services, we provide services by dividing them into two types with different functions and characteristics.
* 2 PPID (Pairwise Pseudonymous Identifier) is a unique Pseudonymous Identifier (different from My Key ID) that is generated by the My Key Platform for each cooperating system and linked to the My Number Card.
2. 2. Characteristics of each type
The MIKEY platform for the realization of the Citizen Card Initiative has the following two utilization patterns.
- Type (1): The MYKEY platform side provides a card reading function and a reading screen to the local government system in response to the use of Kazashi.
- Type ②: Local governments are required to prepare a card scanning function and a scanning screen, but it is possible to confirm the validity of the electronic certification for user certification to Japanese Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) in a wide range of situations including non-face-to-face environments.
It is possible to choose either one or use both together to customize and use it according to the content of administrative services provided by each municipality. The characteristics of each type are as follows.
2.2.1. Common to Types ① and ②
- PPID (Pseudonymous Identifier) can be issued for each administrative service
- In a local government system that provides administrative services, by linking PPID (Japanese syllabary characters) and user number of the local government system in cooperation with MIKEY platform, it is possible to perform integrated operation of authentication by My Number Card and administrative services.
- It is possible to check the expiration status of the electronic certification for signature associated with the electronic certification for user certification and check whether or not the 4 basic information (name, address, date of birth, gender) has been changed (* 3)
* 3 Please note that it is not a function to read the electronic certification for signature from the My Number Card and confirm the validity.
2. 2. 2. Category (1)
- Mainly for face-to-face services such as counters
- CARD READING SCREEN AND CARD READING FUNCTION PROVIDED
- Support for Kazashi Usage
- Provision of basic 4 information (name, address, date of birth, sex) read from the auxiliary AP to the local government system
- System terminals are for WindowsOS
2.2.3. Type ②
- APIs can be used to validate electronic certification to Japanese Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) for user verification
- Regardless of the OS of the system terminal
*Please refer to Table 1 below for a comparison of MIKEY Platform services. For details of each category, please contact Contact .

2.3. Specifications
The forms of use and supported functions of the MYKEY platform for the realization of the Citizen Card Initiative are as follows.
2.3.1. Expected Usage
- Use in a face-to-face environment using a WindowsPC (Type 1)
- Can be used regardless of OS type or usage environment (face-to-face or non-face-to-face) (Type ②)
2. 3.2. Types of electronic certification that can be validated
- Electronic certification for certification of users (corresponding to both types ① and ②)
It is something to prove the user's identity online.
*For details, please refer to the electronic certification Type MYKEY platform.
2.3. 3. electronic certification Validation Scheme
OCSP Responder Method (Compatible with both Types 1 and 2) (* 4)
In online environments, authentication is performed by checking the validity of each electronic certification on a case-by-case basis, and the revocation status can be checked in real time.CRL provision method (Only type ② is supported (* 5))
This is a method of confirming the validity of a electronic certification from a revocation list that is issued periodically (once a day, etc.), enabling quick and batch processing.
* 4 When using the Japanese Public Key Infrastructure (JPKI) that uses the OCSP responder method with private sector as the signature verifier, in principle, a fee for providing electronic certification revocation information will be incurred (however, it will be free for the first three years from January 1, 2023). On the other hand, when using the My Key Platform, administrative agencies, etc. will be the signature verifier themselves, so there is no fee.
* 5 If the OCSP responder method cannot be used due to maintenance, etc., the validity is confirmed by the CRL provision method in Type 1 as well.
*For details, please refer to the electronic certification Validity Confirmation Method MYKEY platform.
2.3.4. Use of My Number Card Kazashi (Type 1 only)
Due to the revision of the Public Personal Authentication Law, regulations have been established regarding methods that do not require the entry of a personal identification number (PIN) for identity verification by My Number Card. For details, please check the My Number Card Kazashi Use Client Software .
2.4 Implementation Steps
The implementation steps are:
- Contact for further information
- When using Category (1), the Digital Agency and the local government must submit a written pledge of confidentiality.
- Receive necessary information such as system linkage specifications for MIKEY Platform
- Check the content of the information received with the system development vendor responsible for the system providing administrative services
- Renovate or develop the system of providing administrative services in order to link with the system of MIKEY platform
- Carry out a linkage test
*At present, we are inviting local governments to introduce it ahead of the release and operating it as a model project. For the model project, please see the model project related to the realization of the citizen card concept utilizing the MYKEY platform.
