US govt evaluates Microsoft Passport for services | |
|

| Time: 10:55 EST/15:55 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
The US Government is evaluating Microsoft Corp's Passport to verify the identity of American citizens, federal employees and businesses who access planned online services, a move that could herald the system's largest single rollout. Federal officials will begin testing web sites in September that allow businesses to pay taxes and up to 285m US citizens to learn about benefits and social services. Passport is being considered as a way to authenticate users of the web sites, according to the Seattle Times. | ||

#10 - Weird. I didn't realize authentication to websites was a direct fall out of 9-11. The Social Security administration tried to put records online, and had to pull them down for criticism because of their poor authentication mechanism and that happened long before 9-11.
