What happens to identity in the most remote or most neglected communities? It generally gets overlooked. A group of academics at INESCTEC and the University of Minho, Portugal, have devised a system for communities to create and issue their own IDs.
IDINA, the non-authoritative digital ID system, is gradually built as trusted persons in the community attest to attributes about other individuals. Teachers can add when a person attended school, health workers can add vaccination dates.
António Sousa, one of the project leaders, explains how levels of confidence can be added to each part of a person’s identity such as name.
As the project develops, it is hoped an IDINA would be able to act as a digital foundation for acquiring a state – or authoritative – identity.
