The network will underpin the revenue service's shared registry, and will be used to search, issue and change the new ID cards
... [+]As Brazil advances the implementation of a new national identity card, the government has developed a blockchain network to add an extra layer of security to data sharing across the federal revenue service and civil identification bodies.
"The use of the b-Cadastros blockchain platform is a major differentiator for the security and reliability of the National Identity Card project”, said Serpro's president, Alexandre Amorim. The new plastic card allows users to generate a single digital version of the document, which is believed to be safer as it enables validation through a printed QR code. With the blockchain-enabled ID, the Brazilian government also expects to centralize processes and reduce fraud and illegal activities, given that currently, it is possible for a Brazilian to request an identification card in each of the country's 27 states.
