O Coordenador de Cibersegurança da Casa Branca, Howard Schmidt, delineou numa conferência no Instituto de Pesquisa em Política Econômica da Universidade Stanford aquilo que pode ser a instituição duma identificação única para os usuários de Internet nos Estados Unidos. Como reporta o CNET:
President Obama is putting plans in motion to give the Commerce Department authority to create an Internet ID for all Americans, a White House official told CNET.com.
White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt told the website it is "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet.

"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."
Este plano faz parte da Estratégia Nacional de Identidades Confiáveis no Ciberespaço (National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace). Parece que Schmidt teve a mesma péssima ideia de Martini.
Dica de John Lott Jr.
