Coming Traffic Law – Biometric Identification Hieroglyphics 3D Barcodes – Future Driver’s Licenses

A few days ago, I was talking to a fellow student about the future of traffic laws and biometric ID cards. We started talking about hieroglyphs for some reason and about the ancient Egyptians. My acquaintance suggests that maybe the hieroglyphs were nothing more than 3D barcodes, and each of those images could represent a tale or a story, and when put together, maybe they could have a third meaning, or a combination of meanings. .

Then we got into the topic of newspaper ads that had little boxes in the corner that were essentially barcodes that you could put your iPhone into using a special app and then direct you to a website, or to a certain page on a computer. website. Looking at the box, it doesn’t look like a barcode printed on a piece of paper, but rather a hieroglyph trying to be three-dimensional. Now wouldn’t it be great if the biometric driver’s license of the future, along with passports and other records, used a 3-D style barcode?

Going from 2-D to 3-D would mean that the driver’s license owner could put a lot more information into the 3D barcode as pictured, and could even allow various database authorities to expand on those data as needed to do your job. worked. Like a TSA scanning unit, one for the IRS, one for mobile banking, and one for traffic police or border crossing, and best of all, the amount of data that could be put into that little code of 3-D bars would be significant. It also couldn’t be read unless someone was directly above it.

In other words, someone couldn’t go through your pocket and read it, the only way to really read it would be to stick the card into a scanning unit, which clamped onto the card and held it in the perfect position for reading. Granted, it would be like a directional RFID chip, and it would only be good at very close range with the right technology. Intrinsically, a system like this would provide greater security to the cardholder and could be used by authorities without sharing databases.

Each time a card was read, it could go through the system and be viewed by multiple authorities at multiple agencies individually, without the original scanner or the clerk looking at it noticing or having access to that information. It would also be pretty good for HIPAA considerations and medical records. In fact, I hope you will please consider all of this and think about it.
