Travelling - didPass Use Case

Identity Verification at the Airport

1. Issuer: The Government

   • Issues passports to passengers/travelers.

2. Verifier: Airport Security

   • Trusts the government as the issuer of the passport without the need to contact the issuer again.

3. Holder: Passenger/Traveler

   • Receives the passport and uses it as proof of identity upon arrival at the airport.

4. Credential Document: Passport

Situations

Today, when passenger/traveler arrives at an airport, they are typically required to show their passports to border control authorities. A passport is then checked manually or against a database to verify the traveler's identity. This process can be time-consuming and inefficient, and it is also vulnerable to fraud.

Problems

The current system for verifying identity at airports has the following problem:

• It is time-consuming and inefficient. Travelers can have to wait in long lines to have their passports checked.

• It is vulnerable to fraud. Counterfeit passports are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

• It does not give travelers much control over their personal data. Travelers have to hand over their passports to border control authorities, who then have access to all of the personal information contained in the passport.

Solutions

didPass offer a solution to all of these problems. didPass are digital identities that are owned and controlled by the individual. They are based on cryptography, which makes them very secure. didPass can be used to store and share any type of data, including personal information, travel documents, and other credentials.

To verify a traveler's identity using didPass, border control authorities would simply need to scan the traveler's DID QR code. This would give them access to the traveler's verified identity information, without the need to see the traveler's passport or other identification documents.

Outcomes

Using didPass to verify identity at airports would have the following positive outcomes:

• It would reduce the amount of time that travelers spend waiting in line at border control.

• It would make it more difficult for fraudsters to counterfeit passports.

• It would give travelers more control over their personal data.
