Hey Guys,<br><br>Hope this finds you all well...<br><br>Have you heard about this &quot;Trusted Identities&quot; program?  FYI <a href="http://www.darkreading.com/authentication/167901072/security/privacy/229000437/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.darkreading.com/authentication/167901072/security/privacy/229000437/index.html</a><br>

<br>Since I had not seen anyone comment or raise this in our group, I wanted to reach out and get the collective opinion of this...<br><br>This sounds very much like what we were up to in the Liberty Alliance Program, now Kantara...<br>

<br>I am not really sure what/why the US Govt is trying to do here given that the industry is already working to do this, and have been for quite a while.  Are they going to &quot;choose&quot; one system and mandate it within its physical borders?  Is this a mess waiting to happen or can it ever be &quot;real, effective, and scaleable?&quot;<br>
