[QUOTE="FlimFlam, post: 1427222, member: 4665"] Just to reiterate from the article [I]"We are not talking about a national ID card," Locke said at the Stanford event. "We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy, and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities." [/I] It seems this is more of an effort to research and put forth standards for digital certificates that are used for banks and other secure systems. As in, the government would recommend a specific encryption/validation schema and it would be up to private entities to implement them for their own purposes. Whether the government's suggestion would be "required" or not was not stated in the article. As others have stated, "You can't stop the signal". [/QUOTE]
