And one you don't fully own/control. Fully owned devices will be unsupported, obviously.

		Sounds like what a government issued card should be used for, which seems fine

I feel the idea of public key encryption could be done without a phone but the device locking makes it harder to transfer the token off device. Like the parent comment said, I think 90% is all we can aim for. Nothing is going to be perfect.

Could probably be implemented by a smartcard or yubikey-like device as well. Shoot, just build it into my state issued ID card.

		Do you know how hard it was to get RealID rolled out? And now you're going to tell every state to do it again, but this time it's got a chip in it so "just trust the government, man". This will go well.

Identity wallets can be made to work anywhere.

You can have an ID card. Just like for buying alcohol and cigarettes.

Secure Enclave on a mobile phone, or an NFC smart card both work fine. It could be your passport, drivers license, national ID, whatever.
