Driver's License for the Internet? White House working on it...

Government is raising its expectations. While it hasn’t been uncommon in the past for governments to consider money wasted by fraud, mismanagement or inefficiency as an expense of doing business, times are changing. New technologies are preventing such waste and initiating cultural change in the public sector. At the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), that transformation is being realized through the adoption of an online authentication tool the agency is using to ensure that the benefits it issues, like food assistance, are going to the right people.
Such incarnations of online authentication technology are sprouting up in state government agencies around the country, led by a White House vision of a new, central form of identification, what some are calling “a driver’s license for the Internet.”

But, of course, fraud doesn’t only happen in Florida. In 2011, the White House started looking at the issue differently when it released the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC). The program outlines a framework for an online identity verification system that would attempt to reduce fraud, while creating a convenient way, federal officials say, for Internet users to prove their identity, without the need to remember passwords. The New York Times called it “a driver’s license for the Internet.” Even better, the White House reported that such a system would improve the Web economy by bolstering public confidence in security and authentication of online businesses and services.

They need to work on a driver's license for voting first

Not a bad concept, but the government won't get it right.

This is hilarious in light of the voter ID argument.

I don't like it. It will be used to police the internet easier

Technology = the new "brown shirt"

I guess the White House only wants white people to use the internet?

The fact that the White House thinks it's a good idea tells me all I need to know.

Good, now they can bust all the politicians looking at porn while they're supposed to be working.

That's strong language. Perhaps those FEMA camps will be used for this?!

STFU.
GTFO.

Horrible concept. Only system I can think of that exists now for mass, over-the-web secure ID is based on PKI Smart Cards which is what the DoD uses. It works on dedicated networks and hardware but would be a nightmare for en masse adoption by the public.

This has nothing to do with stopping fraud and everything to do with surveillance. and I support voter ID as long as any state or federallly issued ID is recognizable and we aren't playing games with what ones we'll take and what ones aren't acceptable IDs.

boy the things NSA could do with this....

Just imagine if someone leaked the PKI keys to a few million people. PINs are plain digit, wouldn't take much for hackers to do a lot of damage with the PKI's.
