PHC are somewhat in line with what we are working on at Entidad. You just need a peer-to-peer connection to a wallet and a process to prove that a person is human in order to issue the PHC credential. A mobile driver’s license is a form of PHC and verifiers will be able to verify a holder’s personhood with a proof presentation (person is true or false).

 

In our case, our wallet features an easy to use 3D Liveness check feature that if successful, issues a credential. For in-person interactions, the issuer and holder simply need to negotiate a peer-to-peer connection to the wallet as a pre-step.

I think it's the height of exclusivity, millions in the US will be unable to prove their personhood.  Pure techo-arrogance

Interesting article on Personhood Credentials (PHC). It seems to be another technology that pits security against equitable access, though the privacy features look interesting:

 

Here’s the full paper. Look at section 4 for challenges with equitable access. Could be interesting to discuss if this solution is more problematic than helpful.
