    In both your examples the government service has your full identity, then pinky promises to forget it.

    It can be like buying alcohol in a store. They look at you and see your age. Or if it’s unclear, the store clerk asks your idea and promptly forgets all about it. Except you’re not buying alcohol but a login for some age verifier.

      So yes, they get your identity, then promise to forget it.

      That’s a worst of both worlds proposal: it makes it trivial to deanonymise people, and it doesn’t solve the replay attacks.

          They ask for ID card indeed, making it super easy to just make a copy. On top of that, your payment details are stored. You’re on camera. Etc.

          Super easy to automate deanonymization. (1).
