11. Why a digital wallet?
A familiar example:
COVID-19 health data
12. It’s easy to use paper certificates
Although...
● Long queues with paper or clumsy
upload experiences
● Harder to verify
● Only lets you share specific data
14. But these are not digital...
...so the data is put on our mobile device.
15. With personal data inside the QR code
● Only contains specific & fixed health & personal data
● Must share all data - even if it’s not required
● Requires presentation of another ID document
● Easy to track - unique serial numbers
● Clumsy customer experience
● Mostly face-to-face (or a difficult ‘upload’ event)
● Not really safe - who’s asking?
17. Instead, give customers a digital wallet
● Selective sharing - only what’s needed & Y/N responses
● Different data from different sources - ‘one tap’
● Copy/cloning protection & binding to other ID docs
● Hard to track across contexts - ‘anti-surveillance’
● Seamless customer experiences - no forms
● Can share data remotely - before arrival
● Private and secure - data on device & can audit requests
18. Most ‘health passes’ put health & personal data in a QR code
Data stored within the QR code only
● Can only contain specific health data
● Must share all data
● Easy to track - unique serial numbers
● Clumsy customer experience
● Mostly face-to-face (or requires a difficult ‘upload’ event)
● Not really safe - who’s asking?
19. IATA & Good Health Pass propose a digital wallet
Data stored within the QR code only Data held in digital wallet
+ Identity
+ Boarding pass
+ Loyalty
+Tickets
+ Travel disruption
… limitless opps
● Can only contain specific health data
● Must share all data
● Easy to track - unique serial numbers
● Clumsy customer experience
● Mostly face-to-face (or requires a difficult ‘upload’ event)
● Not really safe - who’s asking?
