Government IDs in general are decentralized in a sense that there is more than one issuing authority. People really love to overbuild capabilities when designing this stuff -- digital signing chain of trust, blockchain, contact-less verification through nfc or qr codes in a phone. Nobody uses that except government itself and most of the time they have the data in their demographic database, then still make a paper copy if ID and make you sign it so pinning you for fraud is an option later. Everybody else just looks at poorly-photographed jpeg and is like "yes, this dude is named like this". Even banks this days open accounts without ever touching sacred piece of plastic with human hands, let alone scanning it with crypto-mumbo-jumbo. |
