Germans will soon able to replicate their eID into (some) mobile phones via NFC.

MyPOV: One reason this should be expected to work is people there know what their eID means and what it does. A mobile version is a natural extension. -/2 https://www.nfcw.com/2020/07/29/367360/germany-to-begin-rollout-of-open-national-digital-identity-service-later-this-year/">https://www.nfcw.com/2020/07/2...

2. If citizens have always had a national ID, and then an eID, and those things do well understood things like enable new bank accounts and access govt services, then a mobile eID will slot into business and life as usual. -/3

3. But in Australia with the Trusted Digital Identity Framework TDIF we’re trying to digitize an “identity” that is not yet well understood or socially established like electronic identity in Germany. https://www.itnews.com.au/news/mygov-digital-id-integration-in-limbo-as-dta-misses-target-rollout-date-550403">https://www.itnews.com.au/news/mygo... -/4

4/4: IMO the #TDIF should be a Trusted *Data* Framework, focused on protecting the credentials that are already established in this environment, like the Medicare Number. Australians don’t have an “identity” to digitize. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.theregister.com/AMP/2017/07/05/its_an_important_id_so_why_isnt_the_medicare_card_chipped/">https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www...

My recent #identiverse talk was about incremental extensions to existing infrastructure to safeguard credentials, identity data and in fact all the important personal data that oxygenates the new economy.
