| I've just read that one of the alleged bombers was given a Passport and UK citizenship despite having a UK criminal record. This wasn't a case of identity theft or identity fraud. It was case of the official process breaking down. So apologies if this is already in Kim's laws, but I'll add another. All identity systems contain some identities that cannot be trusted. In fact it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a Godel style mathematical proof that this must be true in every case. There may not be anything terribly deep in this statement, we're really just saying that to be human is to err. But it should be remembered that there is *never* 100% trust when we're talking about Digital ID. So we must *always* analyse and allow for the level of percentage risk and it's implications. |
