Passport Era Begins with Bitcoin

Blockchain expert named Chris Ellis has created a system to create a real digital passport that will allow you to identify yourself online and offline using the Bitcoin blockchain and some encryption methods. The project, called World Citizenship, is promising with intense interest.

“The goal of this project is to learn and edit a simple process for accessing and creating a private passport service for anyone in the world, and to verify and prove the existence of other people without using anything else,” Ellis wrote in a statement. Generally speaking, to create a cryptocurrency wallet, it is necessary to create a public and private key. To create a passport, you basically take a photo of yourself and then create a private, public key. They both serve different purposes, having basically the same logic. This document can be verified to be legitimate by cryptographically signing. With a number of other considerations, including the status of the Bitcoin ledger, the verification steps can be augmented.

By including the Merkle Root of the latest block, it proves that we know about an event that could not have happened at any given time before the latest block was published. By signing the passport with a PGP key, it connects to the encryption of the status of the document. By stamping the summary and signature of the resulting passport on the blockchain after these steps, it can be proven that this situation exists at any time after the block in which it was issued.
Basically, you are confirming that the document cannot be created by any other person at any other time, this is an assumption that goes into the production of state passports (the need to go to an institution or organization for the purpose of confirming your presence for a passport can be described as a low-tech version of this process). Obviously, with your new digital passport, you will not be able to go through security yet, but with the developing technologies, these and similar ideas both give birth to new ideas and expand the perspective of states in this field. Every project that proves to be possible triggers development.

Chris Ellis builds trust where nothing happened in the beginning. In doing so, the idea of safely replacing the old passport systems is fascinating and illuminating the future.
