- What is a Smart ID?
Smart ID is a form of identification that comunicates with devices in the IoT.
Its usability has countless possibilities.
age verification
proof of being you
key to acess your home, car, work, safe, you name it.
safety feature for guns, car theft, basically prevention for unlawful use of someone elses property.
You get the idea
2 How does it work?
It works by sending and receiving pertinent information per the situation .
3 Cant someone syphen your information with no trace?
All information in the Smart ID is encrypted.
Only by your SmartID requesting an exchange of information can information be sent but never pulled.
Let say you want to buy some beer.
You walk up to the cashier, wave your hand, card or phone over the receiver and presto your age has been verifies and you bought the beer at the same time.
4 But how does it know if it cant have information pulled?
Other devices have a pending request, when you wave your Smart ID over, it sends permission to send a request back. After the request is verified, your SmartID send a unique one time private key which allows the other device to decrypt your info.
5 Cant someone still find a way to pull your info?
Well information on your ID has ita own private pin, voice recognition/command and so on.
Lets put it this way
Information like age, gender, height religion is not very sensitive usually
Sending a payment however would require your pin or even a finger print to decrypt the transaction.
6 So if someone steals your gun and its got proof of Identity ownership paired with its user, what happens, it stops theives from firing the weapon?
