how do you validate citizenship and authenticity without a full ID?

A privacy preserving cryptographic digital ID that supports zero knowledge proofs.

...in a world where any legislator ever consulted with cryptography and security engineers on this sort of thing.

What we are going to get is people printing fake IDs on paper and holding them up to a camera.

I believe you can get a valid US state ID without being a citizen. In regards to this bill, IMHO, they are looking only to verify age.
