My friend Giuseppe De Marco shared the article “Documenti su IO: 5 milioni di attivazioni per IT-Wallet” with me about how five million people are now using the Italian digital wallet. It adds the information that 4.3 million health cards, 4 million driver’s licenses and 100,000 European Disability Cards have been issued to those wallets. These are significant accomplishments!
(Yes, the article is in Italian. ;-) I read it with the assistance of machine translation.)
These accomplishments are made possible through use of standards. Having just been at an OpenID Federation interop event in Stockholm, Sweden, I find it particularly timely that this is an example of five million people productively using OpenID Federation in their daily lives.
This article about the Italian Digital Wallet System is a good companion piece, providing insights into the goals of the Italian Digital Wallet project. I recommend them both!
