‘Digital credentials are the equivalent of traditional physical credentials, enabling users to digitally prove things about themselves online and in person through a ‘holder component,’ e.g. digital wallet,’ wrote Shared Services Canada about its proposal.
(LifeSiteNews) –– Federal regulators have revealed that they are working on digital credentials for Canadians, despite MPs repeatedly rejecting the proposal over safety concerns.
According to information published October 29 by Blacklock’s Reporter, Shared Services Canada, a federal IT department governed by the Liberal government, is developing “digital credentials” similar to mandatory federal ID like Social Insurance Numbers.
“With more business conducted online, the Government of Canada and interested partners need a common set of capabilities to enable people to be issued, hold and present these types of credentials to make trusted claims about themselves in ways that are user friendly, cryptographically secure, privacy respecting, machine verifiable and to prevent misuse of their credentials by others,” said a notice to contractors by Shared Services Canada.
According to the proposal, regulators would be given the power to revoke “credentials.” It did not disclose if the digital IDs would be mandatory but did compare the initiative to compulsory government issued identification.
“Digital credentials are the equivalent of traditional physical credentials, enabling users to digitally prove things about themselves online and in person through a ‘holder component,’ e.g. digital wallet,” wrote Shared Services Canada.
