## Resource

David Crack, chair of the Association of Document Verification Professionals (ADVP) has been busy advocating for providers verified under the Digital Verification Service trust framework. He says the DVS only exists because of the work of Phil Booth, national co-ordinator of the influential NO2ID campaign. On this episode of the Biometric Podcast, Crack and Booth debate what a good digital ID looks like for the UK.
