Security concerns over system at heart of digital ID
The UK government faces security concerns over its digital ID system, One Login, which will be mandatory for employment verification. While Gov.uk Wallet is in development to store digital IDs, questions remain about data security following reports of breaches and concerns over certification lapses. Critics, including MP David Davis and Liberal Democrat Lord Clement-Jones, worry about vulnerabilities to cyber attacks and question the system's ability to meet cybersecurity standards. The government emphasizes robust security measures and compliance with privacy laws but continues to face skepticism over the safety of personal data.
