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

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.
