By 2025, the global market for identity verification is expected to reach USD 14.8 billion. NFC chip-based ID cards are digitally signed and intricately encrypted so that they cannot be forged or manipulated. The end-user just needs a mobile phone with a decent camera along with NFC technology in the particular device. To use this service, the user must be in possession of an NFC-enabled identity card. These cards follow an international standard which is ICAO 9303. The future of identity cards is NFC-based and it will remain a new and more secure solution.
