          Its in the Bible everyone. That eventually we would have to wear the mark of the beast in order to be part of society. Well, if you take that as a figure of speech then that's where we are heading. Eventually you will be obligated to give up your privacy and submit even your identity to a cloud or otherwise you will not be able to make payments, make use of services, sign up for anything and so on.

          Some will "But nyeh, your information will be encrypted and safe". Well that's garbage, it will simply be available to those with the skills or resources for it

              Hey Human Cattles are you ready to be marked with chip and augmented to become half robot half humans???

                We are closer and closer t marking like cattles.
                Soon we will be born with Chips which will emmit a signal which can locate us like lost and found,
                Grats,.
                What will be next upgrade or update of this???
                Soon we will be like that female robot from last Terminator movie.
                An augmented version of human.

                  What we need is open sourced blank phones you can install whatever hardware segregated phone software, segregated hardware OS software, segregated hardware apps software, and segregated hardware firmware for each. All software can be verified safe. With hardware, the hardware can be fully customisable processing, so it to can be verified as safe, as all additional hardware circuites now are replaced by software emulation. The only company that can attempt such a performance low energy chip is greenarrays using one of their more advanced designs, which are seas of little efficient computational cheap processors. There is very little place for spyware to hide, and the segregation makes it extremely difficult for spyware to mitigate to different areas, and even in the app area, each app can be segregated. Not android, but able to run android. A PC for the mobile world.

                    Hmmm, we already have access to our "virtual" driver's license here i Norway. Got it earlier this year. But likely not using this Identity Credential API, I assume.

                      Don't worry and wait for its release. After that you will know about it more detailed.

                                that they want individuals identity with a bang.

                                  Come on. People don't want people tracking them as they do commercial research, that literally can result in billions of dollars damages, which the phone manufacturer and google, even telecom's, as co-conspirator are responsible for in setting trackable security. I wish they would take their responsibility more serious than this. In revelation of an ID to a third party digitally enables abuse over a broad area. So, what is this going to enable? We have a problem with tracking to tell where you walk, and stores to track you around town where they can even sell the details, even where you walk in your house, how you walk, your health and what you are doing at any moment, just from tracking and the moment sensors and microphones and cameras in phones to listen and see. So, movement data can be covertly dumped with regular system data when your data is available, voice and video data are progressively harder to hide because of rising volumes of size. Governments are making it effectively illegal to have privacy, and affectively constricting free speech, by laws mandating government access to data, including tracking to use for tracking. Opening some governments to trillions of dollars legal actions and complete block of the activity, with possible resulting criminal laws concerning it.

                                  So, how can this be done more securely. Simple seperate unconnected circuit with no phone interaction, with ID kit challenge. The user is required to activate ID, a new anonymised ID is shown each time. The end system alerts the ID has been used, and they both move to an new ID (this stops tracking access to the ID and hides the identity of who the ID belongs to). The operator then feeds details needed, and the remote system returns a match or not. The owner can verify each request through some means, to limit access, however, they can pre-define auto access to certain details upon activation. It can be a transferable chip you can transfer from phone to phone. You walk up to the counter hold to activate (senses unique live bio through case) the operator asks name, it auto verifies the name given (I didn't say you make it easier for them). An ID kit description of you can be auto given to verify you, or you may have set up to that they can enquire and it returns match or not, maybe from looking into a camera. The photokit maybe the only thing you let them see. You may just have auto name, photokit and even addressm. The type of data maybe activated through subsequent swipe action with finger still on activation zone. You might define touch and swipe up to be name, down to be name and photokit left to be name and address, and right to be all these at ones. Lot's of control options far beyond what these guys are doing. This now sets a prior art date to my ownership. I hope the world is a better place.
