Allowing Multiple IDs #7

Closed rmehta closed 4 years ago

rmehta commented 4 years ago

Virtualized IDs are a way to ensure that the national ID is not used to connect a person across systems but is extremely inconvenient for a citizen to handle a new ID for every scenario. And even in this case, a centralized system can still link the virtual IDs to a single person.

Can an option to let the system accept multiple IDs for the same person be evaluated?

It would mean that it would not be possible to "uniquely" identify a person, but it would still be used as a "proof of identity"

This would be like a person enrolling for multiple credit cards or bank accounts that are independent.

I asked this at the last community outreach webminar - Link at 27 minutes

Q : Does configurability allow the system to issue multiple IDs or is deduplication / uniqueness check hardbaked?

A : (Poor audio quality) - Difference between foundational IDs and functional IDs. MOSIP is foundational ID system and not a functional ID. Users can have choice of using Virtual IDs. Yes .... is hardbaked.

Well multiple IDs are possible with MOSIP with virtual IDs where one could have multiple virtual IDs against one primary unique ID.

gsasikumar commented 4 years ago

The eventual thoughts are that the data is encrypted in a way that only a person with virtual identity can decrypt. Now with this, if we remove any mapping to the virtual id and we take the virtual id as an ID that exists for a point in time with no linkage then we can achieve this behaviour. We need to rethink about this in a clear way. we have to ensure non-repudiablity with good privacy.
