Here in europe we have several countries with digital ID cards. You put your ID in a smartcard reader, you put in your pin, and you can get your identity verified in a web browser.
Belgium has an identity service based on this. Governmental OAuth. https://www.csam.be/en/about-csam.html https://www.csam.be/en/about-csam.html | https://iamapps.belgium.be/sma/generalinfo https://iamapps.belgium.be/sma/generalinfo
They publish their own eID reader (middleware) and browser extensions. https://eid.belgium.be/en https://eid.belgium.be/en
Even with an official Linux version. :) https://eid.belgium.be/en/linux-eid-software-installation https://eid.belgium.be/en/linux-eid-software-installation
- mzi 5y agoIn Sweden we have "BankID" that could be card based, but almost everyone has it in their phone. It is issued by the banks (hence the name?) since they already has vetted your identity. BankID is used almost everywhere, from online banking to sign your employment contract or collect benefits when you're home to care for your sick child. The post office used to issue normal identity cards, but today I only think it's the DMV equivalent and the police that does that.
