Biometric passport chip.
All data on your passport can be read using NFC and is signed with a government key.
It even has cryptographic functions to test if you are talking to a real passport (to prevent replay attacks)
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoIf each ID has its own signature, the signature can be used to uniquely identify the ID.
- stevenicr 3y agoSo it may be possible for two pieces of hardware to talk and prove a thing is signed by a reputable place.. so I could check an ID and be pretty certain the age is correct in the data pulled from it.. I guess.. But if I needed to take that ID and run it to check for a valid license or valid insurance - or if they are on a gov deceased list or other background check or something.. Unless I could have all these DBs on device I can't see a real way to do them zero knowledge checks.. I could imagine a service could promise to not log requests but no way to verify they are not.. I suppose I'd like to see a system where you could batch check 100 or so IDs at once to run checks to see if they have insurance, a valid drivers license, a valid XY or Z license, any warrants, pending litigation and such - able to do so in a way that the check on the person is not logged, prove-ably.
