“NSTIC is flourishing, alongside similar schemes around the world. The plan is to make each national system standardized, and able to communicate with systems in other countries; leading to interoperability on a global scale, where all citizens have a single, virtual, global ID. This ID will be smart: using an identity device which proves your credentials, which employs microchips, RFID, and biometrics to grant or deny access and other privileges. At first the system will be voluntary, but eventually a tipping point will be reached where it becomes impossible to participate in society without submitting your personal details to an Identity Provider.”
