澳洲計劃「信任交換」ID系統以提高身份驗證效率

使用二維碼和點擊付款方式，ID 系統將安全地傳輸來自 MyGov 帳戶的訊息

The Australian government is planning to introduce a new digital ID system to improve the efficiency of identity verification for various services, including checking into hotels and submitting job applications.

澳洲政府正計劃推出新的數位身分系統，以提高各種服務的身份驗證效率，包括入住飯店和提交工作申請。

The system will use QR codes and tap-to-pay methods to securely transmit information from MyGov accounts, according to a report by the ABC.

根據美國廣播公司報道，該系統將使用二維碼和點擊支付方式安全地傳輸來自 MyGov 帳戶的訊息。

Set to launch as a pilot next year, the optional system will allow users to seamlessly check into hotels and apply for jobs without having to worry about their data being leaked.

該可選系統將於明年試點推出，用戶可以無縫入住酒店併申請工作，而不必擔心自己的資料外洩。

For instance, under the proposed "TEx" system, a person could check into a hotel by simply scanning a QR code, which would then safely transmit their passport details via a unified database.

例如，在擬議的“TEx”系統下，一個人只需掃描二維碼即可入住酒店，然後二維碼將通過統一數據庫安全地傳輸其護照詳細信息。

Similarly, a QR code at a pub could verify a person's age without revealing the actual details.

同樣，酒吧的二維碼可以驗證一個人的年齡，而無需透露實際細節。

In other cases, users will receive a digital token — also known as a "digital thumbs up" — that confirms their credentials while keeping their sensitive data private.

在其他情況下，用戶將收到一個數位令牌（也稱為「數位讚」），該令牌確認他們的憑證，同時保持敏感資料的隱私。

"It can all be done via the digital wallet on your phone – the TEx technology does the rest," Minister for Government Services Bill Shorten said at the National Press Club on Tuesday, according to The Conversation. "It can all be done via the digital wallet on your phone – the TEx technology does the rest."

根據 The Conversation 報道，政府服務部長 Bill Shorten 週二在國家新聞俱樂部表示：“這一切都可以透過手機上的數位錢包來完成，剩下的事情都由 TEx 技術完成。” “這一切都可以透過手機上的數位錢包來完成——TEx 技術會完成剩下的工作。”

"With TEx, instead of handing over those documents and having them taken to the back office to be photocopied, you will scan a QR code on the front desk – or use technology similar to tap-to-pay machine – which digitally shakes hands with your MyGov wallet," he added.

「使用 TEx，您無需將這些文件交給後台進行複印，而是在前台掃描二維碼，或使用類似於觸碰支付機的技術，以數位方式與客戶握手。你的MyGov 錢包，」他補充道。

"You choose which information to share from your digital wallet and consent to its use. You will have a record in your MyGov wallet of what you shared and with whom you shared it," he said

「你可以從你的數位錢包中選擇要分享的資訊並同意其使用。你的 MyGov 錢包中將記錄你分享的內容以及與誰分享的訊息，」他說

"It could be date of birth, address, citizenship or visa status, or qualifications, occupational licences or working with children check. You control what details are exchanged."

“它可以是出生日期、地址、公民身份或簽證狀態，或資格、職業許可證或兒童工作檢查。您可以控制交換哪些詳細資訊。”

However, cybersecurity experts have expressed concerns that centralizing such a large amount of sensitive information could make it a "honey pot" for cybercriminals.

然而，網路安全專家擔心，集中如此大量的敏感資訊可能會成為網路犯罪分子的「蜜罐」。

The system could also lead to the government collecting more information than is necessary, according to the report.

報告稱，該系統還可能導致政府收集不必要的資訊。

"The more data you collect, the more risk you're introducing into the system. It's a risky project," Richard Buckland, a cybersecurity professor at the University of New South Wales, told The Conversation.

新南威爾斯大學網路安全教授理查德·巴克蘭（Richard Buckland）告訴《對話》：“收集的數據越多，給系統帶來的風險就越大。這是一個有風險的項目。”

"Once we collect that data, sure, if we've got a system that protects it, that's great, but I've never seen a perfect system."

“一旦我們收集了這些數據，當然，如果我們有一個保護它的系統，那就太好了，但我從未見過完美的系統。”

Nevertheless, the government has stated that the information will not be stored in a single database, as it is aiming to create a decentralized model, according to the ABC.

儘管如此，根據美國廣播公司報告，政府已表示這些資訊不會儲存在單一資料庫中，因為它的目標是創建一個分散的模型。
