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.
The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is currently being drafted by the Obama administration and will be released by the president in a few months.
“We are not talking about a national ID card. 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,” Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said at an event Friday at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, according to CNET.com.

“We are not talking about a national ID card. We are not talking about a government-controlled system”
Of course not, no one would support it if it was. What they will do is pass this and then slowly turn it into a national ID card and a government controled system. That is how they do everything.
Doesn’t surprise me.
After all, this is the administration that extended the Patriot Act and FISA, expanded the powers of the TSA, and just gave the military the authority to detain civilians for indefinite amounts of time without telling them why.
