    To avoid people from simply copying the “age proof” and having others reuse it, a nonce/private key combo is needed. To protect that key a DRM style locked down device is necessary. Conveniently removing your ability to know what your device is doing, just a “trust us”.

    Seeing the EU doesn’t make any popular hardware, their plan will always rely on either Asian or US manufacturers implementing the black-box “safety” chip.

      If it is about hiding some data handled by the app, that will be instantly extracted.
      There are plenty of people with full integrity on rooted phones. It’s really annoying to set up and keep going, and requiring that would fuck over most rooted phone/custom os users, but someone to fully inspect and leak everything about the app will always be popping up.

      The key doesn’t have to be on your phone. You can just send it to some service to sign it, identifying yourself to that service in whatever way.
