    After offline discussion with @Naohiro Fujie and @azusa kikuchi , I would like to close the issue now and wait for a right time to reopen, because:

    1. jp_mpiupa is a law for MNO/MVNOs to check the identity of the applicant, but it has no legal effect over the transfer of the claims to third parties.
    2. There are way too many id documents accepted (any official document with the name, picture, birthdate and address would suffice) so the taxonomy used to classify documents may be different over different companies. (so practically for now, each IdP would create their own namespace.)

  2. Torsten Lodderstedt

    As far as I see, you already added the id documents to the wiki page, which is inline with our adapted extensibility concept. So please go ahead and close the ticket.

    re (1): anti money laundering law has basically also no legal effect over the transfer of claims, but it tells the RP how the data were verified and maintained, which is a solid foundation for using this data in other contexts. You might want to consider this when assessing the role of MNOs as IDPs.

    In order to facilitate exchange of experience and knowledge in the group, may I ask you to share with the group (e.g. in a call), how digital identification (eKYCish) could be used in the MNO/MVNO scenario.

    I would also be interested to discuss, how MNOs could play the roles of an IDPs and what a suitable trust framework would be.

    Maybe @Bjorn Hjelm is interested as well?

    Sure. I’ll prepare a deck to explain why Japanese MNOs are interested in eKYC market and what value MNOs can provide. Could you give me a couple of weeks?
