EU Commission’s Digital Wallet. A closer look…
1. Individual states are responsible for the initial ID verification
2. The wallet stores educational qualifications, medical prescriptions, driver’s licences and other personal data
3. The wallet is downloaded from the ‘app store’ ie. Google and Apple
4. The wallet will have a ‘certification’ badge to help stop imposter apps
5. Awareness will be spread by word-of-mouth and online eg. Ads
6. The wallet will contain a system to ‘track and control the data that will be shared with third-parties’
7. The wallet will be necessary to ‘prove a specific personal attribute such as age’
BTW: In Ireland, our verification authority has already been fined €100k’s for mishandling biometric id data of users.
