I am from outside of US and don't grok all the nuance of US laws. What is the difference between having my driver license in Apple wallet and having a digital photo of it in my phone?
- dkonofalski 5y agoCertification, basically. There's nothing that validates that the image is authentic if it's just a picture. Having it in Apple Wallet validates that it's a certified ID. AZ, for example, is one of the states going first because they already have a Digital ID. From what I understand, the digital version shows the same info as the ID but has an animated certification banner that can be interacted with to verify that it's a legitimate ID.
- SergeAx 5y agoThank you for reply, it's getting clearer now. Still don't understand what exactly is being certified here. Does Apple wallet somehow communicates with government database and verifies the ID, and then protects it against spoofing with some kind of government-approved cryptography?
