This is an SSO for ID purposes. (passport/national ID).
Central repository won't store anything, the same as google SSO doesn't store your data if you sign in to third party sites. (it just authenticates you).
Maybe this is what you are misunderstanding?
Also, government already has your data, so that 1 central repository for IDs already exists.
As for hacking... going after any one of those 3000 is less likely to get you in trouble then going after a government (as incompetent as they are). See oil pipeline hack to understand consequences.
- ultimape 5y agoThe article says > "The digital wallet will securely store payment details and passwords and allow citizens from all 27 countries to log onto local government websites or pay utility bills using a single recognised identity, the newspaper said, citing people with direct knowledge of the plans." Doesn't that directly imply that it is more than a simple SSO?
- adriancr 5y agoThat just implies journalists don't understand tech. It also shows how information can be distorted. If you go the FT article, you have a link to the official documentation. Draw your own conclusion, I still see it as SSO. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/trust-services-and-eid https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/trust-serv...
