What are the practical applications of this? There are huge implications for trust and ID authentication on the blockchain. Think about all the times you need to use ID, passports, driving licenses, other government ID cards. Having this information stored and authenticated on the blockchain gives various authorities access to your identity cards and passes, on a secure and automated network. Imagine not having to carry your passport to go on holiday because of face recognition and ID authentication on the blockchain?Imagine being able to go into a bar because your details are secured and approved on the blockchain, no need to carry your ID on you anymore.ID authentication on the blockchain is a big deal, one that already has many practical uses and one that Ontology seem to be working very hard towards.
