UAE has an app called « UAE Pass », and the Emirates ID itself uses Public Key Infrastructure.
The private key itself is locked into the Emirates ID, and need my biometrics to unlock.
Example: When I get delivery that needs my ID, the delivery man just put my Emirates into a card reader, and they need my biometrics to digitally sign the receipt.
It’s often used for important delivery (banks/gov documents), and any related gov services (including telecom, if i want to reload my sim card but forgot my pin, i can just insert my Emirates ID and scan my fingerprint and it retrives my SIM card by magic!)
You can try to read how they are doing the Emirates ID and the UAE Pass app, it’s super interesting to see this so well intergrated and at scale.
