What if your gov ID was also your Gemini cert?

also prefer less govt over more govt. some kind of official IDs seem useful tho, for verifying citizenship and protecting ID against theft of financial assets. unless we go back to a world where we're only known locally (that is, by name among the people we physically talk to), there's gotta be some way to make this work. a GP private key per person, using somethign tagged to our unique genetic code as a seed (馃槺)? idk. we're already living in a cyberpunk dystopia lol 路 3 weeks ago
prefer less over more gov. gov right now is pretty big and expensive in my country. scares me how expensive it would be if gov, of all people, starts running a public key infrastructure. no thank you. 路 3 weeks ago
I would definitely get a forged one in this case 馃槒 路 3 weeks ago
I think that would be a privacy nightmare on the level of Aadhaar, especially if there was no guarantee that the encryption used to generate the cert wasn't backdoored. 路 3 weeks ago
Then we'd actually have a secure identity system, as opposed to the mess we have now. 路 3 weeks ago
