Andrew Bailey@riskybusiness I'm super keen on the new digital identity proposal by the Australian government. And much less cynical than you about it mostly because it's the obvious solution to a real problem. ( it's so obvious I basically described it three months ago on linked in). I think good solutions to real problems get adopted very quickly.
@riskybusiness as for banks doing this I can't see it. Most banks in au are outsourcing digital ID validation. And the vendors in that space have on the surface a varying level of quality. And at the end of the day it's just checking government issued ID. And to make it work there is a push to throw biometrics into the retained data mix which is a worse outcome. I mean I can get a new passport or driver's license if it gets leaked, but new biometrics that's hard.
Patrick Gray@notaname depends how they'd do it tbh. You can use biometric attestation with onboard biometrics like facetime. The enrolment becomes the tricky part,
@riskybusiness well yes but I suspect it's more biometrics to match person to copies of real world ID as opposed to biometrics as an authentication factor ( or to be pedantic to access a TPM/secure enclave on the device to sign a challenge )
