Zero Knowledge Protocols

EDM number 1902 in 2002-03, proposed by Paul Flynn on 11/11/2003.

That this House congratulates the Government on its far-sighted proposal to deal with the growing problems of identity theft and fraud; believes that conscientious objections to identity cards on the basis of liberty and privacy can be overcome by the use of zero knowledge protocol which will allow speedy identification while biometrically protecting confidential information which will not be stored on a central database; and is convinced that this protocol will make identity cards acceptable by also providing new access to services for users.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
