A group of private companies have published a digital ID blueprint encouraging state governments to implement policies involved in creating a digital ID system.

The blueprint was published by the Better Identity Coalition, a group of 27 US companies, including Mastercard, Equifax, AT&T, and more. The group either wants to stop the worry about ID fraud or to profit from preventing ID fraud by pushing to normalize digital IDs.
