澳洲身份驗證計劃解釋：“政府的數字豎起大拇指”

Trust Exchange（或 TEx）將消除人們交出多種形式的敏感 ID 的需要，而是提供「令牌」作為驗證。

The federal government has announced plans to introduce a new digital identification system, known as Trust Exchange, or TEx, which aims to streamline the process of verifying people's identities online.

聯邦政府已宣布計劃推出一種新的數位識別系統，稱為信任交換（TEx），旨在簡化人們在線上身份驗證的過程。

Here's a closer look at how TEx would work, whether it will be mandatory, and when it might be available.

以下詳細介紹了 TEx 的工作原理、是否強制以及何時可用。

How would it work?

它將如何運作？

TEx is designed to make it easier for people to prove their identity online without having to hand over multiple forms of sensitive identification.

TEx 旨在讓人們更輕鬆地在線上證明自己的身份，而無需交出多種形式的敏感身份證明。

Instead, people would be able to create "tokens" that can be used to verify their identity with participating organisations.

相反，人們將能夠創建可用於向參與組織驗證其身份的「令牌」。

For example, if you wanted to open a bank account, you could use a TEx token to prove your identity to the bank, rather than having to provide copies of your driver's license, passport, and birth certificate.

例如，如果您想開設銀行帳戶，您可以使用 TEx 令牌向銀行證明您的身份，而不必提供駕駛執照、護照和出生證明的副本。

The tokens would be created and managed by accredited organisations, such as banks, telcos, and government agencies.

這些代幣將由銀行、電信公司和政府機構等認可組織創建和管理。

These organisations would be responsible for collecting and verifying people's identity documents, and for issuing tokens that can be used to prove their identity online.

這些組織將負責收集和驗證人們的身分證件，並發行可用於線上證明其身分的代幣。

TEx would also allow people to control how their personal information is shared with organisations.

TEx 還允許人們控制與組織共享個人資訊的方式。

For example, you could choose to share only your name and date of birth with a particular organisation, or you could choose to share more detailed information, such as your address or employment history.

例如，您可以選擇僅與特定組織共享您的姓名和出生日期，也可以選擇共享更詳細的信息，例如您的地址或工作經歷。

The government says TEx will be built with strong privacy and security protections, and that people's personal information will only be shared with organisations that they have explicitly authorised.

政府表示，TEx 將建立強大的隱私和安全保護，人們的個人資訊只會與他們明確授權的組織分享。

Will it be mandatory to use TEx?

是否強制使用 TEx？

The government has said that TEx will not be mandatory for people to use.

政府表示不會強制人們使用 TEx。

However, the government is encouraging organisations to participate in TEx, and it is likely that many organisations will choose to adopt TEx as the preferred method of verifying people's identities online.

然而，政府正在鼓勵組織參與 TEx，並且許多組織很可能會選擇採用 TEx 作為線上驗證人們身份的首選方法。

This means that people who do not want to use TEx may still be able to prove their identity online using traditional methods, such as providing copies of their identity documents.

這意味著不想使用 TEx 的人仍然可以使用傳統方法在線上證明自己的身份，例如提供身分證件的副本。

When might TEx be available?

TEx 何時可用？

The government has not yet announced a specific timeline for the introduction of TEx.

政府尚未公佈引入 TEx 的具體時間表。

However, the government has said that it is working with industry and consumer groups to develop the TEx system, and that it will be rolled out gradually over time.

不過，政府表示正在與產業和消費者團體合作開發 TEx 系統，並將隨著時間的推移逐步推出。

The government has also said that it will conduct a pilot program of TEx before the system is made available to the general public.

政府還表示，在該系統向公眾開放之前，將先進行 TEx 試點計劃。
