  • EU ID and Age Verification is so strange project

    Why this specification of age verification is so mobile-centric? Like, there are no options like these:

    • OTP via SM flow,
    • FIDO2 webauthn flows with TPM, Yubikey and other USB dongles with keystores and data signing capabilities
    • dedicated device with monochrome display, specialized EUID/Age Verification software preinstalled, and USB, NFC and Bluetooth interfaces, without any touch of Google or Apple

    The whole spec rotates only about just 2 flows:

    1. mobile device of quite specifc kind, with stock Android or iOS onboard, with age verification app installed.
    2. device from (1) used to scan via camera a QR code appearing on screen of the other device.

    I asked a related question to this spec here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technical-specification/discussions/62

    If find this relevant, and have GitHub account – boost that question please.

    (PS: already seen question there from people asking why ever GitHub used to store that spec)
