Digital ID as concept research — minimal data, consent, no mass surveillance.

Function

Designs the conceptual shape of an Eelam Civic App, a future digital-identity wrapper, and the public-dashboard discipline that would govern every service. Anchored to UK ICO, EU eIDAS, Estonia X-Road (pattern) and India Aadhaar (cautionary).

Now · இரு-அடுக்கு (1)
A concept research surface. No issuance, no enrolment, no live identity data of any kind. Every screen mock-up carries a 'design study — not a service' plaque.
Becoming · இரு-அடுக்கு (2)
A privacy-by-design civic-services wrapper — minimal data, role-based access, offline fallback, independent oversight, appeal process. Never a surveillance state model.

Comparative anchors

  • UK ICO · data-protection guidance and DPIA discipline
  • EU eIDAS 2 / European Digital Identity Wallet — consent + selective disclosure
  • Estonia X-Road — federated data-exchange layer (pattern)
  • India Aadhaar (cautionary) — what to design out: mass-enrolment risk, biometric coercion, function-creep
  • Brazil Gov.br — public-service consolidation pattern
  • GOV.UK One Login — government-services single-sign-on pattern

Unit-specific hard rules

  1. No real identity data, ever. No enrolment surface. No QR code that resolves to a person.
  2. Every dashboard pattern carries 'sample · 0 verified this era'.
  3. Selective-disclosure and consent flows are mandatory in every flow diagram.
  4. Biometric capture is named only in the cautionary anchor (Aadhaar) — never proposed.
