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>
