In iOS 15, Apple has announced the possible addition of one's ID card or driver's license in the digital wallet Wallet. And to make sure you are the holder of the said official papers, the apple brand would opt for a validation selfie.
For now, the novelty is not in any of the public beta versions of the operating system so far offered. According to 9to5Mac, Apple would however work well its copy to make it usable in the fall. And this would include the implementation of a verification and validation system through a selfie. Just to be sure that you are the same person who uses the iPhone and who wants to add his ID card, or even his passport.
A PROCESS SIMILAR TO FACE ID CONFIGURATION
By digging into the code of the beta 4 for developers, the specialized site has discovered a process for adding in the digital wallet of Apple. To guarantee the identity of the holder, it will therefore be necessary to take a photo and not use Face ID or Touch ID for pre-iPhone X devices or for iPhone SE owners. However, this would require following the same path as for the configuration of Face ID by passing to the camera your face turned from all possible angles.
You'll have to raise your head, open your mouth, raise your eyebrows, etc. until the iPhone vibrates to validate each step. The photos will then be processed to confirm that you match the photo on the added ID. Then you will only need to use Face ID for authentication and use.
A DOCUMENT THAT IS INTENDED TO BECOME OFFICIAL
Some online banking applications already do this to validate the sending of official papers and avoid identity theft, recalls 9to5Mac. Apple announced in June that the identity documents in Wallet will be available for some U.S. states at the end of the year in a first step, those who have agreed to participate in the operation with all the security and privacy issues that this requires.
