TEx 项目：政府推出新的数字身份交换来验证凭证

政府服务部长比尔·肖顿 (Bill Shorten) 揭开了信任交换 (TEx) 项目的面纱，他称该项目是澳大利亚数字基础设施向前迈出的重要一步。

Government Services Minister Bill Shorten has unveiled the Trust Exchange, or TEx project, which he’s described as a major step forward for Australia’s digital infrastructure.

政府服务部长比尔·肖顿 (Bill Shorten) 揭开了信任交换 (TEx) 项目的面纱，他称该项目是澳大利亚数字基础设施向前迈出的重要一步。

Services Australia is partnering with Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones and other government systems to develop TEx, which will give Australians the ability to verify their identity and credentials based on official information already held by the Australian Government.

澳大利亚服务部正在与财政部长 Katy Gallagher、助理财长 Stephen Jones 和其他政府系统合作开发 TEx，这将使澳大利亚人能够根据澳大利亚政府已掌握的官方信息验证自己的身份和凭证。

While  most other jurisdictions have a centralised ID based on a number from birth, the new system will represent a decentralised model with more privacy and security, Mr Shorten said during an address to the National Press Club on Tuesday.

肖顿在周二向国家新闻俱乐部发表讲话时表示，虽然大多数其他司法管辖区都有一个基于出生时号码的集中式身份证件，但新系统将代表一种具有更多隐私和安全性的去中心化模式。

“TEx is something brand new and world leading,” he said. “It is not a wallet or app or ID. Rather, it is a secure means by which to exchange with a third party ‘who you are’ – your identity – or ‘what you can do’ – your credentials.”

“TEx 是一种全新的、世界领先的东西，”他说。 “它不是钱包、应用程序或 ID。相反，它是一种与第三方交换“你是谁”（你的身份）或“你能做什么”（你的凭证）的安全方式。”

It’s early days yet with the project currently at the proof-of-concept stage, but the government is investing $11.4 million in building TEx infrastructure as part of its Digital ID project.

该项目目前还处于概念验证阶段，目前还处于早期阶段，但政府将投资 1140 万美元建设 TEx 基础设施，作为其数字 ID 项目的一部分。

Unleashing potential of technology

释放技术潜力

Mr Shorten told the Press Club that technology can be harnessed to make Australia a world leader in government service delivery.

肖顿先生告诉新闻俱乐部，可以利用技术使澳大利亚成为政府服务提供方面的世界领先者。

The government has already introduced the myGov portal, which is the largest online platform in the country with 5.6 million users,  but its potential is underutilised, Mr Shorten said.

肖顿表示，政府已经推出了 myGov 门户网站，这是该国最大的在线平台，拥有 560 万用户，但其潜力尚未得到充分利用。

While MyGovID, which is owned by the ATO,  acts as a proof of identity for both government and business, Services Australia-owned MyGov functions as a place to use MyGovID across online government services.

澳大利亚税务局 (ATO) 旗下的 MyGovID 充当政府和企业的身份证明，而澳大利亚服务部 (Services Australia) 旗下的 MyGov 则充当跨在线政府服务使用 MyGovID 的场所。

TEx will create a “tech trifecta”, the minister said.

部长表示，TEx 将创造“技术三连胜”。

Essentially it wll allow users to scan a QR code that digitally ‘shakes hands’ with their myGov wallet, letting them choose only the information they need or want to share. It will also be able to verify identity without any information being exchanged at all.

从本质上讲，它将允许用户扫描二维码，以数字方式与他们的 myGov 钱包“握手”，让他们只选择他们需要或想要分享的信息。它还能够在不交换任何信息的情况下验证身份。

“You need a service – let’s use getting a hotel room as an example,” Mr Shorten said.

“你需要一项服务——让我们以预订酒店房间为例，”肖顿先生说。

“When you check in, the hotel requests your personal information – often that’s your driver’s license or passport.

“当您办理入住手续时，酒店会要求您提供个人信息 - 通常是您的驾驶执照或护照。

“With TEx, instead of handing over those documents to be copied in some form, you would scan a QR code on the front desk – or use technology similar to tap-to-pay machine.

“使用 TEx，您无需以某种形式交出要复制的文件，而是扫描前台的二维码，或者使用类似于触碰付款机的技术。

You choose only the information you wish to share with the hotel from your digital wallet and consent to its use. You will have a record in your myGov wallet of what you shared and with whom you shared it.

您仅从数字钱包中选择您希望与酒店分享的信息并同意其使用。您的 myGov 钱包中将记录您分享的内容以及与谁分享的内容。

“You choose only the information you wish to share with the hotel from your digital wallet and consent to its use. You will have a record in your myGov wallet of what you shared and with whom you shared it.”

“您仅从数字钱包中选择您希望与酒店分享的信息并同意其使用。您的 myGov 钱包中将记录您分享的内容以及与谁分享的内容。”

It could also be used for proof of age to enter clubs and venues, where a ‘digital token’ will be sent to the club vouching for their identity and that they’re over 18.

它还可以用作进入俱乐部和场所的年龄证明，“数字令牌”将被发送到俱乐部，以证明他们的身份并且证明他们已年满 18 岁。

“Not even their actual age is disclosed, merely that they are over 18,” Mr Shorten said.

“甚至连他们的实际年龄都没有透露，只是说他们已经超过 18 岁了，”肖顿先生说。

“The token will be … of zero value to a cybercriminal because the confirmation token will not contain any personal information All that has been exchanged has been a digital ‘thumbs up’ from the Government that you are who you say you are.”

“对于网络犯罪分子来说，该令牌的价值为零，因为确认令牌不会包含任何个人信息。所有已交换的内容都是政府的数字‘竖起大拇指’，表明您就是您所说的那样。”

Mr Shorten said Telstra and Google have welcomed the opportunity to be involved in development of TEx, which also has in-principle support from the Tech Council of Australia, the Commonwealth Bank, and employment platform SEEK.

Shorten 先生表示，澳洲电信和谷歌很高兴有机会参与 TEx 的开发，该项目还得到了澳大利亚科技委员会、联邦银行和就业平台 SEEK 的原则支持。

The government aims to have proof of concept by January 2025, followed by potential pilots.

政府的目标是在 2025 年 1 月之前获得概念验证，然后进行潜在的试点。

TEx will be an opt-in system.

TEx 将是一个选择加入的系统。
