South Korea Welcomes Blockchain-powered Driver’s Licenses on Mobiles

South Koreans will in the near future go away from plastic driver’s license cards and use an ID solution that is powered by a blockchain technology which is for smart phones and devices. Or, at least, we know this is the plan.

The country’s department of Science and Information and communications technology has approved a program whereby all three of country’s major mobile carrier services ( KT, SK, and U+, LG ) will operate an application that stores digitized editions of driver’s licenses on client mobile phones.

These will be endorsed by police software, and be uploaded to a blockchain-powered computing platform that makes use out of police servers.

Once the driver has do the upload of the scan, the app generates a QR code. Police cops will then be able do scan this QR code thing and then view the scanned driver’s license on their all owned handsets.
