13:27 In the United States seeks to develop a system of online passport | |
True, the word "passport" appears only in the official explanations about the project, its working title «Identity Ecosystem», and the official «National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace». Naturally, the public immediately thought of the notorious "Big Brother" from "1984". In the "ideal society", the state very well interact with the public, knowing all and everything about each through identification system. What is the official goal of developing a web-passports? Officials say the project aims to improve the safety of its citizens on the web. For example, Secretary of U.S. Department of Commerce Gary Locke speaks of "strengthening the security of the web, improving confidentiality and improve the system of authorization to different resources, so users will not need to memorize dozens or hundreds of passwords. Locke argues that thanks to the Internet passports, perhaps, the old authentication system via cords "password / username" will be completely discarded. But say with words, and the system «Identity Ecosystem» really smacks of an attempt to take the Internet and its users in the U.S. segment under state control. You can imagine how this system really worked, and replaced the system of authorization "login / password." Community authorization is virtually instantaneous on many resources, using their online-ID. Like all good. But here are two interesting points: first, to track the behavior of each individual enterprise will not be easy, but very simple, and secondly, you can easily "excommunicate" the user from the web in case of any misconduct of the user (eg, actions that are contrary to principles of democracy, as it has become fashionable to say). It is interesting that its approval of the project expressed the large companies such as Verizon Communications Inc., AT & T, Google Inc., PayPal, Symantec and others. It's clear why - because this project is subject to approval, will require large infusions of money on anything and be able to earn a private company. Interestingly, the initiative is the development of Internet-passport comes from the U.S. president, Barack Obama. Development of the project will deal with the Department of Commerce. Currently, officials are at pains to point that the system is designed for the convenience of citizens, not for the introduction of the surveillance. Of course, because it would be strange to see an official announcement by U.S. authorities like "tomorrow will be introduced a system of global surveillance for all residents." Democracy is after all what it watched, right? Via Cnews | |
