Digital id card for every citizen? My id card can prove identity or sign a document and could for ~10 years. Estonia had it for over 20 years.

Just give it to everyone. Today, it can likely be embedded in a cell phone instead of separate physical card.

What do you mean? I don't know of any country except the US where SSN is used for authentication. In my country SSN is public information.
