belgian id system - one id for everything doesnt feel right

do consumers want this?

canadian banks tried it and failed

Pter this is not a consumer idea

What about telcos?

What about EMV?

Scott David but there is a problem mwith scaling up a system to Internet scale.  How can we extend the Swift trust top a larger context.

if this is a new business for a bank or telco offers IDP, and then something goes wrong, what about brand damage.

Scott: pool the risk among many players


new topic know your customer

NIST LOA 4 ( or maybe three)

Scott: you are already kyc on corporations, a non real entity. This is similar to vetting virtual identies.

kyc is not shared between banks
