Australia the leading country in tech and science has done it again with the release of cloud based passports,
"Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says Australians may soon be able to travel without their passports in a world-leading initiative.
The traditional travel documents would be ditched for 'cloud passports' as part of the initiative, which was presented during a 'hackathon' in Canberra, according to the Canberra Times.
'We think it will go global,' Ms Bishop said of the idea of passport-less travel, which was presented to a number of leaders as part of the Department of Foreign Affairs' InnovationXchange project.
Ms Bishop acknowledged security standards would have to be met to store personal information in the cloud.
The meeting on Wednesday was also attended by Chris Vein, chief innovation officer for Global Information and Communications Technology Development with the World Bank, Australian Minister for International Development Steve Ciobo, and DFAT Secretary Peter Varghese."
