==Criticisms==

Many critics take broad views of what is "digital identity". For example, a pervasive take in places like UK and Canada is that digital ID is ''already here''<ref>Video "Digital IDs Are HERE!! Why You Should Be WORRIED!!.." Coin Bureau, Dec 11, 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwRSzNTp2ko&t=169s</ref>. This section starts with alternative definitions and then expands on areas of ongoing concern.

Critics may also tie "digital ID" broadly to a collection of trends:

===Centralization===

Digital ID proponents tend also to seek to centralize a number of things of relative concern among critics:

−

:Trust model: A Digital ID system is a centralized approach to trust. See [[Trusted_Root_Certificate_Authority_(CA)#Early_CA_infrastructure|HTTPS/SSL history]] for problems with centralized trust models.

+

−
