In Brazil we have an entire PKI based receipt system, every single purchase generates a full listing record straight to a government database sent in realtime (or later, in "contingency mode" as called, if having network issues). A lot sales also include the customer's personal tax-id... no privacy for any purchase at all. It's required for everything, even a liter of milk from the corner bakery. This is also the electronic version of an older, paper based system, called Nota Fiscal (lit Fiscal Receipt) ... legally, every single item carried around the country must have one. Of course this was/is a major enabler for selective police action against "undesirable people" moving trivial stuff from a home to another, etc. |
