| Here's a free business idea: Perhaps we need tamper proof authenticated cameras in all major cities worldwide that publish a livestream 24/7 and you can then stand in front of them to prove your human existance... This could be something that notaries around the world could offer as a service. |

| I heard that in France, they'd use postal office workers to verify people's IDs. It's a brilliant alternative to whatever we're doing in Germany. |

| ▲ | jrjeksjd8d 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | We couldn't possibly employ people to solve the problem. Don't you know the post office is a waste of money? | |
| ▲ | Zinu 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Isn’t that just like Postident in Germany? | | |
| ▲ | nicbou 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not at all. Postident required going to the post office in person with your ID, and famously omitted a lot of foreign IDs and required an Anmeldung. |

| ▲ | FinnKuhn 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | What are we doing in Germany? The options I have seen so far were a) using our digital IDs, which is very handy or b) having a bank verify my identity in person with my ID, which is also pretty good. | | |
| ▲ | nicbou 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | These options are not available to recent immigrants, people with foreign documents and people without a registered address. I spent a lot of time working around those limitations. |

| Or in general, a way to digitally sign a tamper-free video recoding made with a camera from a reputable manufacturer. Maybe a regular iPhone already has enough integrity checks and security contexts to achieve this. |

| ▲ | intrasight 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm almost certain that an iPhone camera can go that, and the reason that Apple controls the full stack. It's necessary but not sufficient, since it's missing the identity maintenance when media leaves the device. Apple would have to place a cryptographically signed digital watermark into a global blockchain so that the analog hole can be closed. All devices that present that media back to a human would need to verify the contents provenance chain back to the initial capture device. There's nothing missing technology wise to achieving this but we, at this point, lack the collective will and the regulatory regime. I do foresee a future where this is the norm and that anything you listen to or watch you'll be able to trace back to the device that captured the data. |

| How exactly would this make money |

| We used to have something similar in NZ. Got removed eventually because of flashing. |
