“Advocates of digital ID often use a framework they call the ‘Triangle of Trust.’ This is usually presented as a triangle of exchange between the holder of an ID … the issuer of an ID … and the verifier of an ID …. This triangle implies that the issuer and verifier — for example, the government who provides the ID and the website checking your age — never need to talk to one another. This theoretically avoids the tracking and surveillance threats that arise by preventing your ID, by design, from phoning home every time you verify your ID with another party.
