State Mandated Identification

Full Title or Meme

Sovereign states have been identifying their residents as long as history has been kept. Only recently have efforts to provide identification and Privacy together been a specific concern.

Historical

• It came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed - The gospel of Luke 2:10
• The doomsday book- created at the behest of William the Conquerer who sent his agents to survey every shire in England, to list his holdings and dues owed to him.
• Henry VIII abolished monasteries that had kept tract of births, deaths, etc. and needed a way to ensure he could collect taxed, thus creating a requirement for surnames for all the population.

Context

This paper is focused on two trends:

1. The move from card based driver's licenses to smartphone based Mobile Driver's Licenses.
2. Many sovereign states have been moving in the direction of a single user authentication process for all departments and agencies of the state.

Problems

• Even the landline phone was used for tracking as soon as it became ubiquitous. FBI wiretaps have been know to capture many types of criminal behavior.
• Smartphones are both incredibly complex and designed specifically to understand where they are as well as how they are being used.

Alternatives

• Self-issued Identifiers were first proposed commercially in the Microsoft
• Self-issued Identifier

Use Cases

EU Digital Identity Wallet

The EUDIW is scheduled to be mandatory available to all residents during 2026. The specs are lurching through the standardization process in both the OpenID Foundation and the EU itself in mid 2024. It currently suffers from a bad case of over specification which can only get worse.

• 2024-09 the ENISA will support certification of these wallets.

Washington State

This is a list of web sites that can be accessed from outside the state network and require ID credentials. There my be other sites that allow online access without credentials that later ask for them. In particular the DMV is in that category. Two duplicates were left out irrespective of their reality to avoid questions. More discussion on the use of the Driver's Licenses as the primary sort of the Identifier for residents of the state in the wiki page on MDL Considered Harmful which explains why the DL is not the best starting point.
