Age verification and digital identity systems are increasingly being pushed into operating system-level APIs. This talk presents the Brazilian “ECA Digital” consultation as a case study of how these requirements are being translated into technical infrastructure while still under active definition, with ongoing exploration involving a public research institution (IPT) and industry actors such as Lenovo. We focus strictly on the technical dimension of emerging systems design, avoiding legal or policy discussion. The goal is to analyze implications for open source systems, particularly interoperability, privacy, and the risk of proprietary implementations becoming de facto standards.
