On September 16, a cabinet centered on Yoshiyoshi Suga, who became the 99th Prime Minister, was launched.Although it is a cabinet that takes over the route of Shinzo Abe's route, as a unique character of the new Cabinet, in order to strengthen the national digital strategy in addition to lowering mobile phone charges that Mr. Kan frequently mentioned during the Secretary -General's era.The fact is that the establishment of the Digital Agency, which allows the ministry and agency's vertical split to be removed to enable coordination of horizontal skewers.
Takuya Hirai from Kagawa Prefecture, who has become the Digital Reform Minister in the new Cabinet in the new Cabinet, is said to be "spread as a digital society passport" according to multiple reports.It is likely that the author will ultimately use the "My Number Card Difficulty", which I mentioned in this series, as a national guideline, and ultimately use it as a domestic digital ID.
The driver's license is also a policy of organizing the process table for digitalization that can be integrated with My Number Card and can be mounted on smartphones within the year (Nikkei Shimbun).
In 2010, I began to cut out on "NFC (Near Field Communication)" mobile phones and digital utilization of id (and key).I have seen the prospects finally go to realization, and I am very impressed.
NFC technology is only a trigger for communicating with external devices, but various things can be done by combining the action of "touching".In addition, by storing a variety of information in the secure element (SE) inside a smartphone with an NFC function, the application range as an application is wide, such as payment, unlocking door lock, or presenting an ID card.
Unfortunately, when the first NFC -equipped mobile phone and smartphones appeared in 2010, there were no unreasonable applications, and the business operators were "secure Element controversy", and the "secure element controversy" occurred.The situations of each other's feet continued, and the application continued to be difficult to launch.
Apple Pay, which first solved this problem in 2014, has been progressing little by little, and has led to this trend.
The beginning is long, but the theme this time is about "digital ID", which is important not only for NFC but also on smart devices.
