As if face, fingerprints, and iris scan weren’t enough for Identification. Now the Vietnamese government wants its citizens DNA too.

    Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.

      If they’re checking against DNA they’ll need to present your DNA for those checks.

      You wouldn’t be able to do anything with a signed DNA code right?

      You can’t change your DNA anyway haha but you could rotate the key it’s signed with I guess.
