[pki-tc] US e-government ID-challenge

[Anders Rundgren <anders.rundgren@telia.com>]

Hi,

This is a very silent list but I give it a try anyway.

 

Coming from a country (Sweden) that established a working national identity-scheme some 40 years ago, which was with ease "recasted" into PKI, I wonder how countries like the US, lacking such systems are going to get e-governments running.

 

As far as I know, social security numbers as used in the US are not sufficient as there are duplicates and many countries do not have identity systems at all, that are aligned to on-line usage.
