California licenses launched in Google Wallet just recently. I added mine last week. The thing I found interesting is that the instructions emphasized that you are not supposed to have to hand your phone to anyone. The license is checked wirelessly via Bluetooth. I'm certain people checking digital IDs are going to ask for your phone anyway though...
- vlovich123 2y agoThe hope when I was on the standard body was that norms would shift as technology enabled it to be shifted. That’s also the reason the ID can contain multiple records that attest various proofs while preserving privacy (eg a store age check for restricted items or bar age check wouldn’t get anything other than your photo and a statement that you’re over a certain age without revealing your name, birthday, etc)
- klabb3 2y agoIn a physical context this needs a photo to be included in the proof too, right? So the instructions for the verifier includes matching the face with the actual person.
- vlovich123 2y agoYes but it depends (eg in some cases you might have an automated machine do the face verification)
- modeless 2y agoI'm glad that the instructions make a big deal about it. Hopefully the systems that scan the IDs also instruct the users not to ask for the phones.
