<p>And it is called root certificates, root signing authority, i.e.
no sophistication needed above cryptographic signatures.<br>

<p>Like Dan tweeted on 2015-09-12: The "A" in AK-47 does not stand
for "Advanced". In the real world we're aware simple can be
brutally effective.<br>

>From the article:<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
First, the holder requests a digital ID and goes through an
ID proving<br>
process to establish their identity. Once the ID
requirements are<br>
satisfied, the issuer will create a digital ID credential,
issue it to<br>
the holder and publish the public cryptographic keys
associated with<br>
that digital ID to the verifiable data registry, which uses<br>
distributed ledger technology, the provincial government
explained.<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
Did you catch that? "distributed ledger technology"? For
some reason<br>
our digital ID needs a blockchain even though the Ontario
government<br>
is the single source of trust? Sigh.<br>
