Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media
sibachian@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoit’s a privacy nightmare as it relies on google and apple servers to authenticate verification. neither of which are private. it also makes it impossible for european alternative operative systems to enter the market - giving a foreign state, the US, full control over what we can and can’t do.

Can you elaborate a bit on the google and apple servers for authentication? My impression was that this system uses its own platform.

BankID is it’s own trusted platform. It is not connected to any of them. I am not sure if I understand what the other person is trying to say. Maybe they are afraid that Google and Apple can use BankID verified sessions to better identify the user?

They are using the phone SDKs to verify that BankID was correctly installed, much like any other client side DRM.

I don’t think BankID has any sort of SDK that lets other apps access user data like that? All interaction with BankID I know of at least is triggered with the app needing authentication/signature opening a BankID session to the central service where you enter your authentication and then the BankID app is used as MFA to verify this.
