澳大利亚身份验证计划解释：“政府的数字竖起大拇指”

Trust Exchange（或 TEx）将消除人们交出多种形式的敏感 ID 的需要，而是提供“令牌”作为验证。

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.

联邦政府已宣布计划推出一种新的数字识别系统，称为信任交换（TEx），旨在简化人们在线身份验证的过程。

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

下面详细介绍了 TEx 的工作原理、是否强制以及何时可用。

How would it work?

它将如何运作？

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 旨在让人们更轻松地在线证明自己的身份，而无需交出多种形式的敏感身份证明。

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

相反，人们将能够创建可用于向参与组织验证其身份的“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，如果您想开设银行账户，您可以使用 TEx 令牌向银行证明您的身份，而不必提供驾驶执照、护照和出生证明的副本。

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

这些代币将由银行、电信公司和政府机构等认可组织创建和管理。

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.

这些组织将负责收集和验证人们的身份证件，并发行可用于在线证明其身份的代币。

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

TEx 还允许人们控制与组织共享个人信息的方式。

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，您可以选择仅与特定组织共享您的姓名和出生日期，也可以选择共享更详细的信息，例如您的地址或工作经历。

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 将建立强大的隐私和安全保护，人们的个人信息只会与他们明确授权的组织共享。

Will it be mandatory to use TEx?

是否强制使用 TEx？

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

政府表示不会强制人们使用 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，政府正在鼓励组织参与 TEx，并且许多组织很可能会选择采用 TEx 作为在线验证人们身份的首选方法。

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.

这意味着不想使用 TEx 的人仍然可以使用传统方法在线证明自己的身份，例如提供身份证件的副本。

When might TEx be available?

TEx 何时可用？

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

政府尚未公布引入 TEx 的具体时间表。

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.

不过，政府表示正在与行业和消费者团体合作开发 TEx 系统，并将随着时间的推移逐步推出。

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

政府还表示，在该系统向公众开放之前，将先进行 TEx 试点计划。
