I don't think that the
trust framework is quite the same as trust certification for business. We individuals can create one or more digital IDs at the same time. We can have one for one purpose, one for many purposes or many for multiple purposes. Or we can choose to have none at all.
I am registered online with my GP, Dentist and the NHS and if I wished I could also register with a pharmacy, an optician or a podiatrist. I could do one for each or one-for-all.
I could do the same for the likes of banks, loan companies, building societies and estate agents. So just the one could be used for different transactions with them all so long as they are all in the loop.
But just to be clear: these are not digital Identity Cards, though I do suspect that they could evolve....
This quote, however, from the "Feedback from members of the public" section did concern me.
There was a high level of repetition in the wording of many of these responses, indicating that individuals were being directed by a single source.
My bold and italic.
It sounds as though minds were made up. The responses were indications of nothing of the sort! Of course we were using similar language and that is because we have the same concerns. It was our individual concerns that were directing our thoughts and opinions not some conspiracy theory!
There are only so many ways of saying "It's raining" before repeating yourself.
