Digital drivers licence anti-fraud technology described as 'cheap coding trick'
- dabinat 1y agoIf anyone else was confused, “spruiking” means to advertise in an enthusiastic manner.
- drweevil 1y agoTIL a new word, lol. Yeah, I understood it to mean something akin to ‘touting’.
- dlcarrier 1y agoThe article is vague on what the anti-fraud technology is. From reading the FAQ here: https://service.vic.gov.au/find-services/digital-wallet/digital-driver-licence/about-digital-driver-licences/checking-digital-driver-licences https://service.vic.gov.au/find-services/digital-wallet/digi... it seems to be a method for verifying the user isn't showing a screenshot, by displaying an interactive "hologram" that changes when tilting the phone. If the venue doesn't follow the QR code to a server-side copy of the license, there's no verification it isn't a clone application mimicking the same behavior while displaying user-input data.
