Today is Data Protection Day, which couldn’t be more relevant to the UK’s proposed plans for digital ID.
The issue is around how, and to whom, we give permission to access ID; what data is stored and where. Multiple points of failure in the architecture could be addressed with decentralised technologies.
The Logos Circle in London is developing educational materials on the risks of centralised digital IDs and potential alternatives - for both the public and legislators.
