That's far down the line.
The examples in the article just store the document data in national database. In both examples (Finland and Singapore) you register online before the trip and then still show up with your passport.
Singaporeans just show up with their face because their face is already linked to their government ID, stored locally. This can be done by any country after pre-registering your regular passport.
All of this is trivial to implement. There's still no mention of full digital validation.
- Muromec 2y agoWell, the thing is -- after doing the whole ICAO PKI into the passport (which already happened) and keeping the trace in the local government database somebody realised there is no point to issue an expensive unforgable paper copy of it, since the digital artifact bundled with it (theoretically) provides stronger security. So instead of issuing ICAO PKI into the paassport, you can just have a dumb app generating a QR code with it or A4 paper extract.
