The Obama administration is set to propose a new system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the Web. The online authentication and identity management system would be targeted at the transactional level -- for example, when someone logs into their banking website or completes an online e-commerce purchase.
For those out there worrying now, if you didn't flinch when Bush signed the Patriot Act, attempting faux outrage now is just icing on the cake. The damage is done, and those who backed the original set all this in motion.

Are you worried? Or willing to go along with the program?

Glad I never chose to bank online. I won't miss it. Talk about a control freak...Obama is it. It will soon be time to "cash out" of bank accounts and barter or conduct every transaction with cold hard cash. Socialism controls and the taxation that accompanies it makes me sick.
Way for that publication to make up a title that has nothing to do with the content of the article!
Has anyone whining about it actually read it? Feh, I doubt it.
"That path forward will hinge on a new draft of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, due to be released Friday for the first time to the public, for a three-week comment period. . .
The report builds on the Obama-commissioned Cyberspace Policy Review, which analyzed the government's information and communications infrastructure defensive capabilities. One of the report's recommendations was to "build a cybersecurity-based identity management vision and strategy that addresses privacy and civil liberties interests, leveraging privacy-enhancing technologies for the nation."
Simply issuing a Web-friendly biometric identification card to everyone in the country, of course, wouldn't necessarily make anyone or anything more secure, including online transactions. As the report also notes, to be effective, security tools and technology must be complemented by education. "There is always a necessity to do awareness and education of the end user," said Schmidt. "But you're not trying to teach the end user how to be a security expert.""
No one has even read the report yet! How about we withhold our freak-outs until we see what it actually says.

I'm sure based on this admin's previous antics that we'll have to pass it.....you know....to see what's in it

That's funny because I was just wondering...
where are all those people who were all fired up about it during the '08 campaign - but now submit in silent obedience since Obama extended the Patriot Act.
