You can access it here. The Personal Information Protection Working Group was established to consider matters related to the personal information protection mechanisms in the social security and tax number system and the national ID system (hereinafter referred to as "both systems").

The number of subscribers on my Japanese YouTube channel has finally reached 1000. I'd like to talk about what I've been waiting for and my future plans.

Nat 2024-01-09 No Comments

After a year of hard work, the number of subscribers on my Japanese YouTube channel @55id (GoGo ID) has finally exceeded 1000. Well, there have been almost no updates in the past six months, so it's inevitable that the growth has been sluggish... But there's something I've been thinking about doing once I reach 1000 subscribers. That is, I'll invite guests to talk to me.

I had a conversation with Tatsuya Kurosaka on IT Criticism

Nat 2021-10-09 No Comments

The theme was digital identity, but the discussion took place at a time when the issue of cameras being installed in JR East stations was in the spotlight, so the conversation went into depth and depth. The presentation was very carefully put together, so I was able to get a good understanding of Mr. Kurosaka and my views on digital identity and privacy.

What "number" design should be - In response to the pension number leak incident

Nat 2015-06-10 No Comments

In the pension number leak incident, it seems that "all leaked numbers will be changed." Personally, I feel like "Oh no." As I wrote in yesterday's article, if it is operated properly, the leak of the number itself is not a big risk, and since the address, name, and other information that was leaked along with it cannot be changed, there is little point in changing only the pension number...
